A Fifteenth-Century Warmian Reworking of Petrarch's Liber sine nomine
Cascio, Giovanni (Università degli Studi di Messina)

Abstract:	This article examines a reworking of Francesco Petrarca's Liber sine nomine transmitted in a group of three mid-fifteenth-century manuscripts of German provenance-namely, Gdańsk, Biblioteka Gdańska Polskiej Akademii Nauk, 1947; Leipzig, Universitätsbibliothek, 1260; and Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 5354. The article brings to light the mechanisms of this rewriting-in which Italy and the principal Italian cities mentioned in Petrarch's epistles Sine nomine are replaced by Prussia and the town of Olsztyn in Warmia-as well as its likely ideological aims. The study also considers the possible origin of this textual reworking and the historical and cultural context in which it may be situated.
