Rome, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, S.MAC3b.CAMI.1

Camillo’s commentary provides 1) grammatical and rhetorical observations; 2) Petrarchan loci paralleli and quotations of classical authors, such as Horace and Vergil, and religious authors, such as Paul the Apostole; 3) paraphrases of passages or explanations of the meaning of some words; 4) philosophical readings based on references to Porphyry, Plato, and Aristotle.
 
RVF 1 and 2 are quoted in full at fols. G1r-G1v and H1r-H1v respectively.
 
This is the first Giolito edition of the Secondo tomo of Camillo’s works, which is added to his Tutte le opere, first printed by Giolito and edited by Lodovico Dolce and Francesco Patrizi in 1552. Camillo’s collections of works have been printed several times in the second half of the sixteenth century in different and combined forms (i.e. only the first or the second part; a combination of the first and the second part from different years). For the purpose of clarity, the database includes all the different editions of the Secondo tomo of Camillo’s works, namely the volume containing his commentaries on Petrarch.
 
Manchester copy is bound with Giulio Camillo’s Tutte le opere (Venice: Giolito, 1560).
