520 |a This study aims to shed new light on Nicholas of Cusa as a reader of Plato by examining the autographic marginalia transmitted in the Codex Cusanus 177, the most significant Platonic collection within Cusanus’s extant library. More specifically, the article focuses on Cusanus’s reading of three Platonic dialogues translated into Latin by Leonardo Bruni (Apology of Socrates, Phaedo, and Phaedrus) and illustrates their common reception in a specific phase of Cusanus’s production, from the composition of the Apologia doctae ignorantiae (1449) to the redaction of the Idiota trilogy (1450). The article not only shows how the thought of Cusanus developed in the margins of the Platonic manuscripts, but also reconstructs Cusanus’s specific working method. Finally, it proposes an interpretation of Cusanus’s reading practices against the background of the critique of book learning and authority that he developed in his works of the period.
