Abstract

Dutch scholars and British Lords: Poggio's Quintilian in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries The romance of the first great discovery by Poggio Florentinus of a full text of Quintilian's Institutiones has never dimmed from those first days in 1416 when Poggio announced his great find. The history of this MS., or rather the lack of history, after 1495 has only increased the hold this monumentum renascendi studiorum litterarum has upon men's minds. Poggio found the complete version of the Institutiones at St. Gall in 1416 and in a period of fifty-four days copied it in his own hand while at Constance. The history of this Poggian apograph from 1416 until 1495 is now well known largely through the efforts of Remigio Sabbadini, Ernst Walser, B.L. Ullman, and N. Rubenstein.l After Poggio's death the apo- - graph passed to his son, Jacopo, and from Jacopo it found its way into the Medicean library. From this point at the end of the fifteenth century until the present day the MS. has been lost to scholars and its history has been obscure. The text-critical value of Poggio's apograph is of no consequence now, for M. Winterbottom has admirably traced the MS.
