La scritta sulla Chiesa di San Michele in Escheto presso Lucca e quella enigmatica di San Saba a Roma
This paper reconsiders two different inscriptions that are located on the exterior
wall of San Michele in Escheto near Lucca and in the lower church of San Saba in
Rome respectively. The first one can be dated to the last years of the XIII century or
to the very beginning of the XIV; indeed, by considering an error in the text as well
as its paleographical origin, the paper argues that presumably the signature in the
inscription does not refer to the author of the text, but rather to the lapicide who
engraved it. The second inscription dates back to the tenth century and is a riddle
that was intended to challenge the reader: thanks to a later manuscript source,
which elucidates some of the riddle’s textual features and its original context, it
can be argued that this inscription is a forged epigraph, whose author pretended
that it was written on the base of Marius Victorinus’ statue in Trajan’s Forum
La mano della nota Sydney sulla morte di Giorgione: prime ipotesi
The hand of Sydney note on Giorgione’s death: First hypothesis · In 2017, on the back of the final page of a 1497 incunabulum of Dante’s Divina Commedia held by the University of Sydney library, a red chalk sketch of a Madonna and Child and, above it, an ink inscription with the death notice of the painter Giorgione da Castelfranco were discovered. The inscription not only gave a precise date of, and age at, death of Giorgione, but also allowed for a possible attribution of the sketch to the artist himself. This paper attempts to identify the note’s writer. The hand seems to be that of a painter active in the workshop of Cima da Conegliano between 1497 and 1504, who wrote some cartouches in Cima’s paintings. Thus, the author of the inscription could be himself a painter, a colleague of Giorgione who greatly admired him
Le iscrizioni sulle campane di Santo Spirito al Morrone e di Santa Maria della Tomba a Sulmona fuse per Celestino V
This short note gives a new philological transcription of the inscriptions that
are on two early 14th-century bells originally made for the canonization of pope
Celestine V (5 May 1313). With this new transcription, it is possible to put forward
a new hypothesis on the bells’ date and subsequent history

Pochi ma buoni : gli autografi di Heiric di Auxerre
The paper aims to reconsider the handwriting of Heiric of Auxerre from a palaeographical point of view as well as in relation to his biography. A close study of ms. Melk, Stiftsbibliothek, 412 shows that two different hands wrote the notes traditionally attributed to him: it appears that only one of these two hands is Heiric’s, as can be seen through a hitherto neglected Tironian note in the calendar. Moreover, such hand is not the one that wrote ms. London, British Library, Harley 2735
