Un ampliamento della biblioteca di Giovanni Della Casa

This paper proposes a different reading of the inventory of Giovanni Della Casa’s library to the one carried out previously by Lorenzo Campana and Emanuela Scarpa. Starting from a general description of the document, included in the manuscript volume Vat. lat. 14826, the author assigns to Giovanni Della Casa titles which Campana and Scarpa had attributed to Ubaldino Baldinelli (whose library, or part of it, was included in Della Casa’s in 1551). The author also attempts to identify some of these editions and proposes to date the inventory to 1551, when Della Casa was about to take definitive leave of Rome to move to Venice.
