    This paper has two main purposes: providing a general overview of the eulogistic production for Charles of Bourbon, highliting its literary genres and authors, the most frequently used topics, the models of reference and, furthermore, the public use of rethoric, the restoration of Classicism, and the influence of Vico and Gravina’s theories in eloquence. In the second part the study focuses on some carmina composed for Charles of Bourbon by Alessio Simmaco Mazzocchi, the most distinguished Neapolitan intellectual of the first half of the XVIII century. The study analizes their content, the occasion on which they were composed, and their quotations of ancient authors. Mazzocchi constantly promoted Charles of Bourbon’s reforms. Nevertheless, this aspect of his production and his role as a poet laureate has never been adequately considered yet

    The paper’s aim is to present some aspects concerning life and works of the Capuan antiquarian Camillo Pellegrino Junior (1598-1663). Some influent nineteenth century scholars, in particular Wilamowitz and Mommsen, criticized south Italian antiquarian research and often considered its method as unreliable and philologically inaccurate. As a result of these critiques, Neapolitan antiquarianism has been forgotten for centuries, until the modern studies reconsidered its importance. The article argues that the previous scholar’s criticism can not be applied to Camillo Pellegrino, which could be considered as a pioneer in modern historiographical production about Ancient Campania and as a predecessor of Muratori’s studies

    According to Henk Jan de Jonge, the second edition of the Elzevir’s New Testament, known as the Textus Receptus and published in Leiden in 1633 with the preface of Daniel Heinsius, was edited by Jeremias Hoelzlin. de Jonge also considered that none other than Daniel Heinsius had responsibilities in preparing the first edition of the Elzevir’s New Testament of 1624, but there was no clear evidence to prove this. A letter sent by Nicolaus Heinsius to his father Daniel in 1641 from England seems to confirm that Daniel Heinsius did indeed prepare the edition of 1624
