A Rare Edition of Angelo Poliziano’s Nutricia

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to draw scholars’ attention to a little-known edition of Angelo Poliziano’s Nutricia (Leipzig, 1517). One of the only two surviving copies of the volume (Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, 76, 39) contains annotations which constitute indisputable proof of how Poliziano’s poems attracted the interest of Renaissance readers.
