Rettorica et poetica d'Aristotile

Rettorica et poetica d'Aristotile

Bernardo Segni's translation of Aristotle's Poetics and Rhetoric were first printed in Florence in 1549, though the author had been working on them for several years, as confirmed by the manuscript (autograph) version of the Rhetoric now in the Marucelliana Library (ms. C.333, where the dedicatory epistle to the duke of Florence Cosimo I de Medici is dated 1546, instead of 1548 which is the date of the epistle in the first printed edition). Segni offers the readers an Italian translation of Aristotle with a commentary on the texts concerned (the commentary on Aristotle's Rhetoric appears in the Marucelliana ms. in a sort of preliminary and shorter version).
