Abstract

The "Notitia itineris cuiusdam per Graeciam in lingua italica redacta, cum inscriptionum apographis" is a text contained in the Codex Ambrosianus C 61 inf., a manuscript composed of several codicological units. It is an incomplete copy of a lost work, whose author was long unknown. In the 1980s, Luigi Beschi suggested that the original work might have been written by Urbano Bolzanio, a friar from Belluno who lived in the 15th century. It is a travel itinerary to Greece and Constantinople, enriched by the citation of several epigraphs found along the way. The original work, as anticipated by the title of the copy in the Codex Ambrosianus, was to be accompanied by several plates with complete inscriptions. By analysing the manuscript in its historical context, this research will refine the date when Urbano Bolzanio may have undertaken his journey to Greece, i.e. between 1479 and 1489. A comparison with another manuscript, the Codex Cicogna 1874, will also reveal new aspects of the literary circle of the friar from Belluno, who was linked to figures such as Girolamo Bologni and Domenico Bonomino. Clues from the text and references to other manuscripts will thus add to the history of Italian epigraphic collections in the 15th century.
