LE GLOSSE ALLA 'TEBAIDE' ATTRIBUIBILI A ILARIO D'ORLÉANS (LIBRI VII-XII)

Commentary and critical edition of a twelfth century collection of glosses to Statius’s Thebais (books VII-XII), ascribable to Hilarius of Olréans, Abelard’s friend, author of a Virgil commentar and initiator of the classical reading’s glorious tradition (lecturae ad auctores) in the Loire’s valley. The Thebais’s glosses ascribable to Hilarius of Orléans had a wide and sound fortune until the late Renaissance. Giovanni Boccaccio owned a copy of this commentary and used it to write his Teseida; Francesco Petrarca copied information taken from these glosses in the margins of his copy of Vergil (Vergilius Ambrosianus).
