Some observations regarding a copy of G. Pascoli’s «Iugurtha» owned by Luigi Majno and v. 34

Abstract

The essay examines the characteristics of a copy of Pascoli's poem Iugurtha, printed in Amsterdam in 1897, and belonging to Luigi Majno, socialist politician from Milan: the copy witnesses an autograph correction by Pascoli in v. 34, which solves a metric-prosodic problem documented from the earliest manuscript drafts.
