Title: Textual Variations in a text by L. B. Alberti: "Musca".
After an introduction to the principles of the humanistic philology, of what is called “New Philology” and of the ecdotic praxis of humanistic texts, the application of such principles will be shown trough the analysis of the trasmission of the MSS. wich transmit the text that will be studied during the course and of the critical edition of C. Grayson. We will propose a new edition of the text using the ms. Riccardiano 767.
