Miscellanées magico-scientifiques en Italie au Quattrocento: l’exemple du ms. Paris, BnF, it. 1524 (2019)

unapi

This article focuses on the ms. Paris, BnF, it. 1524, a manuscript in italian, copied en 1446, in Milano or at least in Lombardy, probably for a lay member of the court of the Duke of Milano Filippo Maria Visconti. Yet this codex seems to be considered as an unicum in many respects, it may be considered representative of the relationship between science and magic in the Quattrocento Italy. It consists of 15 main textual unities, joined together by an anonymous compiler, who seemed to be also the principal translator of the book; the compendium is dominated by astrology and magic, but, as in many other «books of secrets», numerous passages, not necessarily grouped, concern medicine or recipes. This article presents in detail the composition of the codex and its sources, which have been identified so far; it should be emphazised that this manuscript contains the only known italian version of some texts.
