Abstract

In this work we analyze the commentary on Ovid’s Amores (1518) composed by the Venetian humanist Domenico Mario Negri, paying special attention to those comments that deal with textual problems. As is common among Renaissance commentators, Negri usually transmits Ovid’s textus receptus without worrying about doing an in-depth study of the manuscript tradition. However, he frequently discusses the discrepant versions of the Ovidian text, trying to solve these difficulties ope codicum or ope ingenii. With this methodology he often anticipates some of the textual solutions that will be later proposed by critics. The aim of this research is to compare the text defended by Negri with that of the modern Ovidian editions and to highlight his main contributions both in the establishment of the text and in its interpretation.
