Tradizioni attive e ipertesti. Ramusio 'editore' del Milione
Full text linkThe contribution focuses on a scholarly digital project presented in 2015 by Eugenio Burgio, Marina Buzzoni and Antonella Ghersetti, Dei Viaggi di Messer Marco Polo, the Italian version of the Devisement dou monde / Milione by Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1559), freely available at Edizioni Ca’ Foscari - Digital Publishing website. The paper describes the intellectual reasons that have bolstered the project, in the new context provided by the so-called digital philology, and shows a demo that illustrates its operational mechanisms. Finally, it presents some outcomes of the project: (a) a new hypothesis of stemma codicum, which tries to explain the ways of transmission and the relationships between the two traditional branches α and β; (b) a new scholarly digital project: the critical edition of Marco Polo’s book, started out as the logical development of the Ramusio digitale

In the 1930s, an obscure emigrant from Campania, Emanuele Filomeno Marciano Rossi, presented a collection of maps and texts to the Library of Congress of Washington, with the declared intention of shedding light on the authenticity of a family inheritance. Actually, it was a forgery, which after several decades of oblivion was published in 2014. The collection known today consists of twelve pieces, maps and texts, one of which is held by the Library of Congress itself; it redraws the history of America’s discovery backdating it, and at the same time celebrating Christopher Columbus’ first arrival the New World by the Atlantic route. One of the common threads in the documents is the presence of members of famous families, particularly Venetian (Polo) and Genoese (Spinola and Doria). In this respect the documents constitute a reflection, albeit on a distortng mirror, of the fame of the Genoese as rulers of the seas, and of their indispensable role in the authentication of a corpus of geographical documents. This article aims to present these documents, in particular the ‘Genoese’ texts
