The essay reviews various remarks about Homeric criticism in Poliziano’s writings, focusing on chapter 40 of the second Miscellanea, which deals with the exegesis of quadrupes in Ter. Andria 865. Starting from a passage of Heliodore/Oribase’s De ligaturis, Poliziano addresses the problem of technical and scientific vocabulary, including Homeric lexicon, in the Aristotelian translations by Theodore Gaza: the chapter is an interesting, hitherto neglected, episode of his polemic with Giorgio Merula.
