which makes fine distinctions of meaning” (The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, III, p. 76).Even from a typographical point of view, this edition marks a new era, since this is also “one of the first[editions] to use italics to differentiate commentary from lemmas, boldface to distinguish the lemma itself . All ofthese changes point to an increased presence of the editor in shaping the text” (E.B. Tribble, Margins and marginality:the printed page in early modern England, Charlottesville, 1993, pp. 66-67).Denis Lambin, a native of Montreuil-sur-Mer (Picardy), made his first studies at Amiens. Later he enteredthe service of the Cardinal de Tournon, who he accompanied in two trips to Italy, during which he visited Rome,Venice and Lucca, and had the opportunity to meet many important scholars of the time, as Faerno, Muret, Sirleto,Fulvio Orsini, etc.. On his return to France (1561), he was appointed Regius Professor of Latin at the Collège deFrance and subsequently obtained the chair of Greek. Philologist of great linguistic sensibility, his editions of theclassics (Horace, 1561, Lucretius, 1564; Cicero, 1566; Cornelius Nepos, 1569) marked a major step forward in the historyof textual criticism. He died in September of 1572 for the apprehension of sharing the same fate of Pierre de laRamee, who was killed during the Massacre of St. Bartholomew (cf. L.C.

Contemporary vellum overboards, lightly soiled, lacking free endpapers, some very lightbrowning and spots, otherwise a very good copy.RARE FIRST EDITIONS of the collected writings by this littleknown Brescian humanist. He was sometimes identified withStefano Maria or Flavio Alessio Ugoni, author of the Dialogus de- 50 -
solitudine (1545), but undoubtedly he was Giovanni Andrea Ugoni, a friend of Francesco Spinola, editor of the presentcollection (cf. P. Paschini, Un umanista disgraziato del Cinquecento: Publio Francesco Spinola, in: “Nuovo ArchivioVeneto”, 1919, 37, pp. 65-186).“The last 16 th century work critical of forced monachization to be considered here is a dialogue publishedin Venice in 1562: Ragionamento del Magnifico Signore Ugoni Gentilhuomo Bresciano, nel quale si ragiona di tutti gli statidell’humana vita… This philo-Protestant native of Salò, a member of the Brescian patriciate and an accomplishedpoet, was tried by the Inquisition of Brescia in 1544-45 and again 1552-53; both times he was convicted of heresy. Inlate 1564 he was summoned before the Inquisition of Venice, which tried and condemned him in 1565. Given thathe was a residivist, it was probably his status as a Brescian noble that spared him a death sentence. In the fall of1562, his like-minded friend Publio Francesco Spinola, a humanist of Milanese origin, submitted the Ragionamentoand three other works by Ugoni to the Venetian printer Pietro da Fine, who promptly published them. Spinola’sdedication describes the dialogue as a faithful transcript of an after-dinner conversation held in the Brescian palazzoof Virginia Pallavicini Gambara not long before the death in 1549 of Pope Paul III. In a seemingly informal,spontaneous manner, seven characters – as in most sixteenth-century dialogues, all real people – discuss severalissues pertaining to lay people’s lives. The topic of forced monachization of women comes up after MarcantonioPiccolomini has answered a question about marriage posed by the group’s hostess… Virginia [who also] raises theissue of chastity” (A. Jacobson Schutte, By Force and Fear. Taking and Breaking Monastic Vows in Early Modern Europe,Ithaca, NY, 2011, pp. 28-29).These publications were printed by Francesco de’ Franceschi of Siena for the publisher and booksellerPietro da Fino, who was involved in reformed circle in Venice (cf.

The five longletters that Navagero sent to his friend Giovanni Battista Ramusio between 1525 and 1526 were already printed inthe letter collection published at Venice by Gi-rolamo Ruscelli in 1556 (cf.
