Alessandro Geraldini antiquitatum indagator? His role in the epigraphic studies at the beginning of the 16th century
Keywords:
Alessandro Geraldini, Humanist epigraphy, antiquarianism
Abstract
The interest of the Italian humanist Alessandro Geraldini (1455-1524) in the monumenta antiquitatis (and especially in Roman inscriptions) is made clear in his Itinerarium ad regiones sub aequinoctiali plaga constitutas, written at the end of his life. This paper analyses the antiquarian information contained in Geraldini’s work; the epigraphic sources used in his Itinerarium are revealed for the first time; the collection of inscriptions from which he knew these texts is identified; and finally his actual engagement in the epigraphic studies carried out during his long stay in Spain (ante 1475- 1519) is assessed.Downloads
