| Summary: | We present an edition of a fifteenth-century florilegium now in the British Library (MS Add. 10,804) and known there as Breve opusculum quorundam notabilium seu auctoritatum multorum sapientium. In the introduction in particular the relationship will be reviewed between the Latin text and its sources on the one hand, and between the Latin and the Italian — translation techniques — on the other. Next the cultural-historical context within which this florilegium originated will be considered. At the same time we will tentatively answer the question of the function that this bilingual text may have served. The edition of the text (incl. sources, linguistic and palaeographical annotations) will be concluded by various registers and a bibliography. |
