Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] Among its manuscript holdings, the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan includes a substantial nucleus of illuminated manuscripts, from the Late Antiquity to the High Renaissance. In the wake of Renata Cipriani's research, this volume offers the catalog of illuminated manuscripts in Italy during the fourteenth century (Fondo inf.). Among these are the famous Virgilio Ambrosiano by Petrarch, with the frontispiece by Simone Martini, the Solino, illuminated in Bologna in the first half of the century. XIV, with depictions of monsters, the popularized Livio, copied in 1373 in the Veneto area, with an almost complete illustrative cycle. This catalog arises from the meeting of different experiences, on the one hand the codicological and textual analysis, on the other the study of the iconographic apparatus and its critical history: different but complementary experiences to offer the reader as complete a look at that "mine of stories" that is every medieval manuscript.
