Introduction

Thumbing text messages on a cell phone while waiting in line to buy the latest development in communication technology, the ‘letter writer’ in the global village today may have difficulty imagining what ars epistolica (the art of letter writing) meant to the Renaissance man or woman, several centuries before computers or even typewriters and ballpoint pens had been invented, even before literacy had become widespread and regular postal service made available to the public. Europeans of the sixteenth century, both those privileged with education and the illiterate who had to turn to a notary or secretary or scribe to write on their behalf, deemed letter writing a vitally important skill. Those classically trained would have said that it required as much ingenium (natural ability), as much ars (rules of grammar and rhetoric, knowledge of social conventions and of literary models), and as much exercitatio (practice) as writing poetry, plays, or other complex literary genres. Having prepared their homemade pens and ink, letter writers had to adjust to their audience and purpose by attending to the delicate etiquette of the quality and quantity of paper used, where words should be placed on the page, and in what and whose hand. Intricate formulas of address, greeting, farewell, dating, and signature also expressed the appropriate attitude of authority or deference that were the currency of a hierarchical society.1 Letter writing was an exercise in rhetorical persuasion; in Aristotelian terms, the writer’s ethos (self-presentation) and pathos (appeal to the emotions of the audience) were as vital to the success of the letter as its carefully structured logos (argument). In one respect, though, the Renaissance letter writer’s experience might be compared to social networking in our digital age. Any message was potentially public, though not, as today, because it was easy to distribute. Wealthy individuals and institutions hired messengers; others, entrusting their letters to acquaintances traveling, might wonder if their messages would reach their destinations in months or years, if at all. The difficulty and expense of transmitting a letter in the sixteenth century called attention to it and aroused curiosity. Thus a letter writer might hope less for privacy than for a messenger who would reliably report and elaborate the intention of the message not only to the recipient but to the recipient’s household or circle or even royal court in what would probably be an oral presentation and reading of the letter. In many cases, multiple messengers would share the contents along the route as they relayed the letter to other travelers. When efforts were made to limit readership by seals or even codes, they were not always successful.2 Writers also had to reckon with the possibility that their letters might be circulated without permission more widely still, either in manuscript or in print using the comparatively new technology of a press with movable

Conclusion The development of letter writing in the Renaissance was an international movement in which the well-established medieval tradition of the ars dictaminis was modified and developed but not entirely replaced by the humanist recovery of classical letter collections and rhetorical treatises and by imitation of classical models. In Latin letter writing, the Italic peninsula led the way for a century and a half. In his study of the printing history and content of rhetorical manuals, including Latin manuals of letter writing, Peter Mack observes that “by the final quarter of the fifteenth century intellectual leadership in rhetoric had passed to northern Europe. Most important renaissance rhetoricians, including Agricola, Erasmus, Melanchthon, Ramus, Talon, Vossius, and Caussin, came from and worked in the Netherlands, France, and Germany.” Even the Iberian peninsula was largely influenced by ‘Parisian fashions,’ while sixteenth-century Italy largely stood aside from these developments. However, Mack notes several exceptions to this generalization, including the Ciceronian controversy and vernacular rhetoric.75 His conclusions about rhetorical manuals in general appear also to fit manuals of letter writing, one of the varieties of rhetoric that he studies.76 The Erasmian synthesis of medieval and classical traditions in letter writing continued to influence sixteenth-century pedagogy even when censorship of Erasmus’ works prevented Roman Catholic teachers from mentioning him among their sources. However, Erasmus’ satire of Ciceronianism was not well received by his contemporaries and did little more than refocus toward argument and audience rather than strictly diction and grammar the humanist devotion to Cicero’s letters as models for imitation. Ultimately, the religious schism had as great an effect as Erasmus on expanding the range of stylistic models for students writing Latin letters, whether that variety was motivated by an iconoclastic Protestant celebration of clarity and simplicity or by a Roman Catholic reassertion of Christian tradition or by the sober commitment to philology of both the Protestant and Catholic Reformations as an aid to resolving philosophical and theological issues under debate. Through the seventeenth century, Latin letter writing would gradually decline from its status as a living medium of international communication. In the division of the Latin West into competing Christian creeds, however, the familiar letter, especially the vernacular letter, found its place as a forum for new ideas and for new voices that were barred from public life and the pulpit, including those of women. In vernacular letter writing and vernacular manuals of letter writing, Italy once again took the lead in the middle decades of the sixteenth century. Its scholars, printers, courtly circles, and ‘poligrafi’ enjoyed a brief interlude of freedom from censorship that left a long-lasting influence on northern European literature and popular culture.

Preface “Est enim (quod scite scriptum est à Turpilio comico) epistola absentium amicorum quasi mutuus sermo, quem neque agrestem, aut asperum, neque fucatum esse oportet neque una de re, neque ad fastidium usque multum. Eoque simplicitatem, candorem, festivitatem, argutiam amat hoc epistolarum genus” (‘For a letter, as the comic poet Turpilius skillfully put it, is a mutual conversation between absent friends, which should be neither unpolished, rough or artificial, nor confined to a simple topic nor tediously long. Thus the epistolary form favours simplicity, frankness, humour and wit’) Desiderius Erasmus De conscribendis epistolis, Basel, 1522, p. 21 (English translation in CEW, 25/3, p. 20)

“Tutte le lettere scritte ò da scriversi, cosi publiche come private, contengono, ò cose passate, ò presenti, ò future. Però dissero gli antichi, & i moderni lo confermano, che le lettere in qualunque materia scritte, sono comprese da i tre generi de gl’Oratori co quali abbracciarono le cause, cioè dal dimostrativo, dal deliberativo, & dal giudiciale...”. Francesco Sansovino Del secretario, Venezia, 1580, l. 26r

“Ce sont grands imprimeurs de lettres, que les Italiens, j’en ay, ce crois-je, cent divers volumes: Celles de Annibale Caro me semblent les meilleures”. Michel de Montaigne Les Essays, I, XXXIX, J. Balsamo et al., eds., Paris, 2007, p. 257

THESE QUOTATIONS from three early modern authors express just some aspects of the here displayed collection of letter books. In the course of the sixteenth century the ‘letter’ became a more and more broader category (especially with the advent of vernacular letter collections), including practically anything that had a salutation and a signature. Letter writing was still heavily linked to scholastic rhetoric in the beginning of the century and gradually developed into a new art, greatly expanding its functions from business, legal and administrative matters, ‘exchange of the duties of courtesy’, networking and knowledge distribution to literary exercise, self-conscious image building and self-fashioning, search for patronage, vehicle for political and religious propaganda, and an occasion for diversion and entertainment. To the modern scholar and reader, however, the collection also shows an incredibly wide and intricate network of communication covering the whole of Western Europe and also penetrating the Eastern regions. This is particularly evidenced by the two comprehensive indices: one containing the many thousand senders and recipients, the other covering the name of the places from where the letters were sent. Scholars from Poland corresponded with fellows in Sicily and Portuguese humanists with those of Hungary. Who would not be surprised to find in the correspondence of Taddeo Duno, an Italian exile in Switzerland, letters to and from the great mathematician and physician Girolamo Cardano; or in the correspondence of Justus Lipsius letters to Michel de Montaigne and to Marie de Gournay, the latter’s fille d’alliance. Moreover letters did not only satisfy curiosity for the private and personal, but the here displayed published correspondence of over 30’000 letters, also includes a huge range of fashionable and current questions in social, political, religious and scientific discourse, giving an incredibly multifarious insight into a whole century of

history, local and nationwide, more or less reliable. Thus, the ‘familiar’ (private) letter, could be seen today not merely as a vehicle of personal communication, but brings the reader also closer to the daily life at the court of a prince or in the household of humanist. The collection here presented is mostly focused on sixteenth century imprints produced in Western Europe, and should give a representative overview on the subject of letter-writing in the sixteenth century. Ars epistolica is divided into two main parts: (I) ‘The Catalogue’, in which the collection is described in great detail, and (II) ‘Bibliographical Sources’. Part I is divided into three sections: (I) Letter collections by single authors and anthologies, (II) Manuals of letter-writing, (III) Model letter collections, fictitious letter collections and some letter collections by 15th century authors (mostly schoolbook editions printed in the 16th century). At the end of the first section are found a chronological list of the titles in the collection, a list of printer’s arranged by towns, and a comprehensive index of all authors, editors, senders, and recipients, as well as places. Part II (‘Bibliographical Sources’) is also divided into three sections: in the first we tried to list all letter collections printed between 1501 and 1600, in the second all letter-writing manuals printed during the same period, and in the third is found a comprehensive list of the secondary literature, which appeared until the publishing of the present work, and a subject index to it. The criteria used to compile the ‘finding lists’ are the same as those used by the editors of the Index Aureliensis (q.v.), i.e. the places of printing and publication of the single works printed in the same year are listed in alphabetical order, with the effect that the first edition of a work is not always listed first. An asterisk (*) after a title means that in the volume is contained one or several more works. Variant spelling of the titles are not given. Printers are given with their family names - also for books printed by their heirs -, and only in case of ambiguity the initials of the first name are quoted (e.g. H. Estienne for Henri Estienne; F. Estienne for François Estienne). Printings without printing place are abbreviated, n.pl.; without printer’s name, n. pr., without date, n.d. In the list of epistolaries we omitted purposely works written and printed before 1501, as well as those by authors of the antiquity, middle ages and fifteenth century (with a few exceptions). Also ignored are books containing only one or a few letters addressed to a single correspondent, or on a single topic, which do not have the character of a letter collection. Sixteenth century vernacular translations of letter collections by ancient authors such as Cicero, Pliny, Petrarch, etc. are left out as well (with a very few exceptions). Of the numerous ‘news-letter’ (avvisi, advis, sendbrief, relaciones)-collections published during this period, only a representative, but rich choice has been included. On the other hand we have included collections of letters, which are intended more as models for letter writing than representing a proper choice of letters by a certain author (e.g. Zucchi, 1599). In the secondary literature section we did not list monographs and articles related only to autograph material not published in the 16th century. Every title presented in the ‘Catalogue’ is described in great detail starting with a transcription of the title-page and then followed by the exact collation, the citation of the most important bibliographical records, the editorial history of the work and its aftermath. Next are listed all the letters contained in the work with, whenever possible, the names of the senders and recipients, as well as the place from where the letter was written and the date. The description ends with a short biography of the author and/or the editor. In listing the letters of the collection, we have put within square brackets all the material (names, dates, places), which is not mentioned in the text, but has been identified through internal evidence, or, recent research. The abbreviation n.r. (i.e. no recipient) occurs when a recipient is not mentioned. When the place and/or date are missing in the original work, and could not be identified, we omitted them too. The names of the senders and recipients have been transcribed in their modern version (e.g. Cornaro becomes Corner). In those cases where the Latin name of the person is today more customary than his/her original name, we have listed both of them (e.g. Andrzej Krziczki or Cricius or Critius; François Dubois or Sylvius). The name of places are rendered in their original language. Incidentally the collection does not only provide an enormous amount of historical facts, local and of European relevance, but also a representative survey of the printing business of a whole century exemplified by 127 printers from thirty different European towns.

We renounced to translate all foreign-language citations for two reasons: first, mostly because these citation only confirm statements already expressed in English, and secondly to avoid to greatly inflate the already enormous size of the volume. To the numerous friends and colleagues, who helped us, and furthered this project, we extend our most grateful thanks. The list of sympathetic, enthusiastic people, who were, in one way or the other involved in the arduous quest of finding books for the collection, and who helped us in the research, is too long to be reproduced here. We are indebted to the staff of several libraries (Universitätsbibliothek Basel, Bibliothèque de Genève, Zentral- und Hochschulbibliothek Luzern, Zentralbibliothek Zürich and Biblioteca Estense Universitaria Modena). Without their zealous and patient help and collaboration this work would never have been realized. Our hope is that the collection will find a new home, in which it could possibly grow further and generate additional research in this fascinating field.

Bertolo, Aretino e la stampa. Strategie di autopromozione a Venezia nel Cinquecento, (Roma, 2003), pp. 88-90; S. Casali, Annali della tipografia veneziana di Francesco Marcolini, (Forlì, 1861), pp. 141-145, no. 63. FIRST EDITION, of which are extant two different issues printed one shortly after the other with substantial modifications to a few letters. Of the first issue only two copies are known (Bologna and Nuremberg). In the present, three new letters were introduced and some lines were omitted in the dedication to Henry VIII (see below) (cf. F.M. Bertolo, Aretino e la stampa. Strategie di autopromozione a Venezia nel Cinquecento, Roma, 2003, p. 84-88). “Io entro in questo discorso, perché le prime lettere che in lingua nostra siano state imprese, nascon da me; che godo, mentre mi sento trafiggere circa l’arte de l’imitazione” (P. Aretino, Lettere, P. Procaccioli, ed., Roma, 1999, Tomo III, p. 38). The first evidence of a plan to publish a collection of Aretino’s letters appears in his letter to Francesco Marcolini (June 22, 1537), in which he says “these few letters that have been collected through the love that my youngsters feel for the things that I do”. Since spring 1537 Aretino had begun to keep copies or minutes of what he wrote. This is also suggested by the actual character of the printed letters. The vast majority of those written before that time are either addressed to very prominent people, such as rulers, or are concerned with substantial gifts made to him. But from May 1537 on, there are far more letters to friends and acquaintances about matters of a less practical kind, in other words the sort of letter of which he had not hitherto had any reason to preserve copies. Printing was delayed until September, because Marcolini had to turn his attention to the publishing of Serlio’s Regole generali d’architettura. The printing of the letters seems to have been completed at the end of December. The colophon is dated January 1538, but various letters published in the present second volume indicate that Aretino was sending copies around at the beginning of the year. In the same year a second edition was published by Marcolini, and at least five editions were produced by other Venetian publishers. Marcolini’s edition was reprinted in-octavo in 1542. Aretino felt that a new literary genre was born. Five other book were to follow within twenty years totaling a number of over four thousand letters (cf. G. Baldassari, L’invenzione dell’epistolario, in: “Pietro Aretino nel cinquecentenario della nascita. Atti del Convegno di Roma-Viterbo-Arezzo 28 settembre-1 ottobre 1992, Toronto 23-24 ottobre 1992, Los Angeles 27-29 ottobre 1992”, Roma, 1995, pp. 157-178). The project of the publication of a second volume of his letters is mentioned by Aretino in a letter to Jacopo Cassola (Venezia, June 23, 1538, p. 52). On September 1, 1541 Aretino in a letter to Lodovico Dolce (p.

417), entrusted the latter with the editing of the collection sending him the manuscript (“I send you the book, with the freedom to add or delete neither more or less than seems appropriate to the loftiness of your faithful judgement”) (cf. R.H. Terpening, Lodovico Dolce Renaissance Man of Letters, Toronto, 1997, p. 189). The printing was accomplished in August 1542, with a dedication to King Henry VIII of England. This dedication could be read as one of Aretino’s more daring exercises in challenging the authority of the Roman church, and by so deliberately endorsing the most prominent heretical monarch of the moment, he risked more than contamination by association, a fact that perhaps served as one part of the rationale that relegated his collected works to the Index of 1559, a few years after his death. Henry VIII appreciated this token of approbation from Italy’s most celebrated living literary figure, and made him a gift of 300 ‘scudi’, a sum Aretino, who had hoped for an even more substantial reward (one of the numerous ecclesiastical benefices Henry had at his disposal after the suppression of the monasteries), nevertheless experienced some difficulty in actual collecting. However, (as is evident from the earlier version of the dedication – see above), Aretino purged his letter to the king, evidently having concluded, also in view of a cardinal’s hat he aimed at, that to mitigate his admiration was a more prudent strategy (cf. J.C. D’Amico, Aretino tra Inghilterra e impero: una dedica costata cara e una lettera non pubblicata, in: “Filologia e critica”, 1, 2005, pp. 72-94; and C. Schiavon, Una via d’accesso agli epistolari. Le dediche dei libri di lettere d’autore nel Cinquecento. Prima parte, in: “Margini. Giornale della dedica e altro”, 3, 2009, pp. 8-10).

Pietro, the son of Tita Bonci and a cobbler named Luca Del Tura, was born in Arezzo in the momentous year 1492. With typical disregard for propriety, he sometimes claimed to be the bastard of the nobleman Luigi Bacci, who kept his mother as a mistress. In all his publications, however, he adopted the nom d’artiste Pietro Aretino. He received little education and lived, for some years poor and neglected, picking up such straps of information as he could. Still very young he was banished from Arezzo on account of a satirical sonnet which he composed against

FIRST COMPLETE COLLECTION of Erasmus’ letters. “In the collected edition of Erasmus works, prepared by his executors [Hieronymus Froben and Nikolaus Episcopius], the volume of letters was the first to appear (N1), in 1538. It seems to have sold rapidly, for it was reprinted in 1541 (N2), and again in 1558 (N3). These three volumes are for the most part substantially the same. All the earlier editions were reprinted in them, and a few new letters added; together with some prefaces in accordance with Erasmus wishes, and other printed matter, which had appeared under his name. There are, however, slight divergences of reading, and in one point a notable difference. N2 has, on p. 1114, a short letter to a certain George Loxanus, Vice-Chancellor of Bohemia, squeezed in between two to Gilbert Cousin (Lond. xxvii. 50 and 51). This letter is not in N1; and from the fact that it has been removed again in N3, though the reference to it is found in the index, we may conclude that its insertion in N2 was procured by Loxanus through surreptitious means and did not find favour with Episcopius, unless N3 was reprinted directly from N1” (Allen, op. cit., I, pp. 596-597). However, it is not clear which edition Allen consider N2, because it has been reissued at least 5 times between 1538 and 1541 under two different titles (either Epistolarum opus complectens universas or Operum tertius tomus epistolas complectens universas), always with exactly the same collation. Under the first title the work was printed in 1538 (VD 16, E-2928) and in 1538/1541 (VD 16, E-2929 and E-2930); under the second title in 1540/1538 (VD 16, E-1864, the present edition) and in 1540/1541 (VD 16, E-1865). The collected edition of Erasmus’ works appeared in Basel in 9 volumes of text and 1 volume of index between 1538 and 1541. The plan for it was set down by Erasmus himself, first in a letter to Johann von Botzheim, dated January 30, 1523, and again with some alterations in a letter to Hector Boèce of March 15, 1530. Erasmus

divided his shorter works into groups according to subject matter or purpose, while the larger ones were left to stand by themselves, all with little concern for chronological sequence. The canon of Erasmus’ works thus established was followed by his executors. Beatus Rhenanus, one of the editors, provided, in the form of a dedicatory letter to Charles V, a biography of Erasmus. The volume contains 1228 letters divided into 28 books. Compared to the Opus epistolarum (1529), this new edition omits 4 letters (to William Gonnell, Allen 279; to Hubertus Barlandus, Allen 2172; to truth’s lovers, Omnibus veritatem amantibus, not in Allen; and to Johann von Botzheim, Allen 2206) and adds 210 new ones, the majority of which had already been published in earlier collections. “Durant les sept années qui suivent [la publication de l’Opus epistolarum, 1529], - les dernières de sa vie Érasme se contente de compléments, les unes de taille moyenne, les autres de petit format. A-t-il renoncé à l’espoir d’une grande édition? Non, sans doute, mais il en abandonne la charge à ses héritiers. Les lettres d’Érasme trouveront leur place naturelle dans le vaste recueil posthume de 1538. Tel est le vœu de l’auteur, mais il est permis de se demander pourquoi cette grande édition n’apporte que trente-quatre lettres nouvelles, dont vingt-neuf préfaces. Les lettres contenues dans les recueils épistolaires, de 1515 à 1538, forment un ensemble impressionant, mais ne sont pas, comme Renaudet parmi d’autres croyait ‘la plus grande partie de la correspondance d’Erasme’. Il s’en faut de beaucoup! Aux douze cents lettres publiées par Erasme ou par ses successeurs immédiats, Jean Leclerc (Clericus), près de deux siècles plus tard, en ajoute six cents. Il les introduit, en 1703, dans les Opera omnia de Leyde. Enfin Allen vient, le rassembleur! Deux siècles après Leclerc, il trouve à peu près tout ce qu’il est possible de trouver, soit treize cents lettres nouvelles. Au total, ses onze volumes nous font connaître plus de trois mille lettres” (L.-E. Halkin, Percy Stafford Allen, éditeur de la correspondance d’Erasme, in: “La correspondance d’Erasme et l’epistolographie humaniste: colloque international tenu en novembre 1983”, Bruxelles, 1985, p. 19). “A last introductory remark: corresponding with Erasmus was by and large an affair of men. In the mass of 666 correspondents only seven women can be found: a queen (Catharina of Aragon), three princesses of royal blood (Margaret of Valois; the two Habsburg governors-general of the Netherlands, Margaret of Austria and Mary of Hungary), a noble woman from Zeeland, a nun from Holland, and Margaret Roper, the daughter of Thomas More” (L. Voet, Erasmus and his correspondents, in: “Erasmus of Rotterdam. The Man and the Scholar”, J. Sperna Weiland & W.T.H. Frijhoff, eds., Leiden, 1988, p. 196).

The Rhetoric and Pragmatics of Letter Writing in Early Modern Times”, T. Van Houdt, J. Papy, G. Tournoy & C. Matheeleussen, eds., (Leuven, 2002), p. 37. ORIGINAL EDITION (a quarto edition with different pagination was simultaneously issued by the same printer) of Lipsius’ letter-writing manual originated from a lecture held in June 1587. To Lipsius’ treatise is appended a bi-lingual edition of Demetrius’ description of the classical familiar letter. The work was reissued in 1601, again in quarto and in octavo, and in 1605, in quarto only. These editions are the only printings of the work during the author’s lifetime that he supervised. Until the end of the century the work was also printed in other countries, evidently without Lipsius’ authorization, first at Frankfurt/M. (1591) and then at Lyon (1592, 1596), Magdeburg (1594), Cologne (1596, 1597), and Paris (1599) (cf. Justus Lipsius, Principles of Letter-Writing: A Bilingual Text of ‘Justi Lipsii Epistolica Institutio’, R.V. Young & M.T. Hester, eds., Carbondale, IL, 1996, pp. xlviii-il). “In 1591 Lipsius allowed Raphelengius to publish his Epistolica Institutio, which in its sixteen printed leaves completed the liberation of epistolography from the rules of rhetoric. His recommendations are generally models of brevity and lucidity, composed according to the principles established by his predecessors, in particular Vives, whose interest in the psychology of the writers of letters and their recipients found a sympathetic response in Lipsius. He did not need the rules of Francesco Negri, nor even of Erasmus and Vives” (M. Morford, Lipsius’ Letters of Recommendation, in: “Self-presentation and Social Identification. The Rhetoric and Pragmatics of Letter Writing in Early Modern Times”, T. Van Houdt, J. Papy, G. Tournoy & C. Matheeleussen, eds., Leuven, 2002, p. 189). “Lipsius clearly devoted the first ten chapters of his Institutio to the epistolary ars; the last three may be regarded as personal admonitions to the artifex [...] ‘graded’ for the youthful, the more mature, and the adult student, and departing progressively from Ciceronian basis recommended to the first group. There are also admonitions for keeping a notebook or commonplace book in the Renaissance manner. Such material belongs under the caption of artifex and thus entitles the 0 to placement in the isagogic category by its principle to structure as much as by its address to the young [...] Lipsius attempted to drive a sharp wedge between the letter, properly so called, and other written communications which had long borne the name of letter incorrectly. He made a threefold division of letters according to subject matter: ‘materies seria’, ‘materies docta’, and ‘materies familiaris’. The first dealt with public or private matters of gravity, the second with technical or learned questions. If I interpret him correctly, he regarded the first essentially an oration, the other essentially a treatise. He then turned to the genuine letter, the ‘materies familiaris’ designating it by the adjective ‘propria’. Of this type of subject his says: ‘Denique familiarem

AA8, a-z8, A-M8, N6. With the printer’s device on the title-page. Contemporary calf, blindstamped fillets on the panels, with the entry of ownership of Alessandro Guidiccioni (1524-1605), bishop of Lucca, on the title-page. Guedet, p. 644; Martín Baños, p. 669; Ph. Renouard, Bibliographie des impressions et des oeuvres de Josse Bade, (Paris, 1908), I, p. 184, no. 5. SECOND EDITION with the commentary by François Dubois but first to contain a new dedication letter by him to pope Leo X, dated from Paris, Collège de Boncourt, May 18, 1520. When in July 1498 the Venetian press of Aldo Manuzio produced an edition of Poliziano’s collected Latin and Greek works, also 251 letters, divided in twelve books, were included (mostly by Poliziano himself, but also some addressed to him and some exchanged between his correspondents). Poliziano certainly had hand in preparing his works for print before his death, but Alessandro Sarti, a friend, and Pietro Crinito, a pupil, did the actual editing. These letters alone were re-published under the title Illustrium virorum epistolae at Lyon in 1499 by Josse Bade, and again in Paris in 1510 and 1515, in Antwerp in 1510, and in Strasbourg in 1513. In 1517 Bade published a new edition with the commentary by François Dubois. “By 1517 Poliziano’s collection had demonstrably acquired the status of a textbook. In that year, Josse Bade, from his Paris press, started a profitable run of printings of the letters, edited with extensive commentary by François Du Bois, Du Bois had published the first two centuries of his Progymnasmata in the previous year. His annotations to Poliziano’s Illustrium virorum epistolae must therefore have emerged from the same environment at the Collège de Montaigu, although we know that he was at the Collège de Lisieux by the end of 1517 (at the Collège de Boncourt between 1520 and 1526, and at the Collège de Tournai subsequently). The commentaries appended to each of the letters (and supplemented by a few extra notes by Josse Bade) tell where Du Bois focused his students’ attention [...] Du Bois’ attitude to the Latin language question is implicit and subtends his annotation. His commentary is an example of the grammatical exercise enarratio, exactly the same kind of commentary that humanists appended to their editions of Latin authors. Such commentaries were in effect classroom lecture notes. They were generally tidied up and expanded for publication, but they certainly reproduced the instruction that was given and the manner in which it was transmitted orally, point by separate point, following the order of the text studied, and by no means necessarily pausing to reflect on the thrust of the work taken as a whole (that was the matter for an introductory general lecture, a praelectio, if there was one). Once problems of verbal and syntactic comprehensions had been covered (lectio), the purpose of enarratio was to explain people and places, to fill out passing allusions
