In his youthful version of the Iliad, Poliziano borrows Cicero’s translation (De div. 2, 63-64) of Il. 2, 299-300, i. e. Ulysses’ account of Calchas’ prophecy, which Cicero mistakenly attributed to Agamennon: the essay reconstructs the humanist’s exstensive study on this passage, which he collated and corrected in his incunabulum of Cicero’s writings, and used in chapter 53 of the first Miscellanea, devoted to Cicero’s errata memoriae.

Abstract
In his youthful version of the Iliad, Poliziano borrows Cicero’s translation (De div. 2, 63-64) of Il. 2, 299-300, i. e. Ulysses’ account of Calchas’ prophecy, which Cicero mistakenly attributed to Agamennon: the essay reconstructs the humanist’s exstensive study on this passage, which he collated and corrected in his incunabulum of Cicero’s writings, and used in chapter 53 of the first Miscellanea, devoted to Cicero’s errata memoriae.File in questo prodotto:
