Vita di Poggio Bracciolini
Poggio Bracciolini è nato a Terranova (Arezzo) l'11 novembre 1380 ed è morto a Firenze il 30 ottobre 1459. Ricercatore instancabile e grande scopritore di codici di opere classiche; cultore entusiasta dell'antichità, con una varietà di interessi che lo portarono a toccare temi e a cimentarsi in molteplici ambiti. Prese parte ai lavori del Concilio di Costanza nel 1414. Nel tempo libero svolgeva assiduamente delle visite a vicini conventi in cerca di codici antichi. Questa attività lo portò a riscoprire libri fondamentali nella storia della cultura occidentale. Nel 1453 torna a Firenze e lì muore nel 1459. Questo volume è una ristampa della biografia scritta da William Shepherd nel 1825.
Chapter Poggio Bracciolini, an Inscription in Terranuova, and the Monument to Carlo Marsuppini: A Theory
The strangest Renaissance inscription is the dedication plaque of Poggio Bracciolini in the church of S. Maria in Terranuova Bracciolini. Over the course of eighteen lines, its letters morph from Florentine sans serif capitals to Imperial Roman capitals. The author theorizes that the gradual change was the result of Poggio Bracciolini coaching an untutored lettercutter in the subtle differences between the two styles of letters. Furthermore, there is a visual link between the letters of the Terranuova inscription and those of the inscription on the monument to Carlo Marsuppini in S. Croce that suggests Poggio played a role in its design.
