W.358, St. Basilius, De poetis legendis; Pseudo(?) Plutarch, De liberis educandis; Statius, Achilleid

Abstract

Written in Italy in the third quarter of the fifteenth century, this manuscript contains works by St. Basilius, Pseudo(?) Plutarch, and Statius. The first two texts are Greek treatises on education that were translated into Latin, bearing witness to the Italian humanist revival of, and interest in, the study of ancient Greek. The translators of those texts, Leonardo Bruni (d.1444) and Guarino Veronese (d.1460), both studied Greek under the tutelage of Byzantine scholar Manuel Chrysoloras (d.1415), who was one of the first to introduce Greek literature to Western Europe. The third text by Statius was included as part of a compendium of texts frequently used by students studying Latin beginning in the tenth century. During this same period, Statius was confused with the rhetorician Statius Ursulus of Toulouse, who is mentioned in Jerome’s translation of Eusebius’ chronicles as active in 56 CE. Statius' full Roman name was Publius Papinius Statius, however due to his conflation with the rhetorician in the tenth century, there are a number of manuscripts that begin Statius' name with “Sucurlus” instead of “Publius.” This can be found for instance in an Italian incunabula that is contemporary with W.358, and which is also found in the Walters’ collection (91.1119). This suggests that this error may have been a regional phenomenon in Italy.
