The paper focuses on the Catullan manuscript IV F 19 of the National Library of Naples, dating back to the second half of the XVth century. A deep analysis of the document as well as of the corrections and the marginalia to the text of Catullus aims at demonstrating that the manuscript has a notable relationship with the first editions and commentaries on Catullus published in the second half of the XVth century. Then, the ownership note shows that the codex belonged to the private library of the humanist Antonius Seripandus. It is also particularly worth noting that the manuscript is an hitherto unnoticed indirect testimony of the first two fragments of the poet Furius Bibaculus, inserted by the scribe within the text of Catullus’ poems.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the Catullan manuscript IV F 19 of the National Library of Naples, dating back to the second half of the XVth century. A deep analysis of the document as well as of the corrections and the marginalia to the text of Catullus aims at demonstrating that the manuscript has a notable relationship with the first editions and commentaries on Catullus published in the second half of the XVth century. Then, the ownership note shows that the codex belonged to the private library of the humanist Antonius Seripandus. It is also particularly worth noting that the manuscript is an hitherto unnoticed indirect testimony of the first two fragments of the poet Furius Bibaculus, inserted by the scribe within the text of Catullus’ poems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
