Napomena
The Latin funeral oration of Nicholas, bishop of
Modruš (1427–1480) for the cardinal priest of St
Sixtus and the nephew of Pope Sixtus IV Pietro
Riario (1445 – 5 January 1474), Oratio in funere
reverendissimi domini d. Petri cardinalis Sancti
Sixti (after January 18, 1474), is known from
seven printed editions (1474–1484) and six more
manuscript copies. It was, obviously, a popular
example of the funeral rhetoric of papal
Renaissance Rome. In Croatian literary history,
the oration is also significant as the first
printed book by a Croatian author. We bring new
material for the history of the reception of
Nicholas’ oration, first by reviewing its known
manuscript sources. All are humanist
miscellanies; six of them are today in Italian
libraries; a copy was transcribed by the German
humanist Hartmann Schedel, and there is another
one in Olomouc, today in the Czech Republic (the
only one written in bastarda, typical for Bohemia
during the 14th and 15th century; others are in
humanist minuscule). There are no traces of
authorial interventions and no significant
marginal notes or corrections in the manuscripts.
Next, we present a collation of printed and
handwritten witnesses, carried out during
preparations for a critical edition of the
oration. The collation shows that there are two
main families, with four witnesses remaining
outside these. We encounter readings which
dramatically change the sense of the author’s
words (in the list of variant readings these are
especially 2.1i, 2.1.k, 2.3.o, 2.3.p). A whole
sentence (2.4.f) is left out in one family of
witnesses, suggesting an editorial intervention;
author’s strong claim of holiness of Pietro
Riario’s death was in this way somewhat toned
down.
Finally, it turns out that the Venetian
manuscript, Marc. Lat. cl. XIV, 180 (4667), in
which the oration is joined with writings by the
humanist monk Girolamo Aliotti from Arezzo,
occupies a special place in the textual
tradition: it is the only witness to preserve
four epideictic epigrams added after the end of
the oration; the first epigram praises Nicholas’
book (and proves that Riario was a controversial
figure, whom Nicholas’ words had to make more
popular), while the remaining three are epitaphs
for the deceased cardinal (stressing his contempt
for earthly possessions, transience of glory in
this world, and capriciousness of Fortune). The
epigrams, well written, with a number of subtle
parallels with Renaissance Italian poetry
(especially Landino’s Xandra from 1460 and
Pontano’s Eridanus, began in 1483) were obviously
intended as paratexts in an edition, but it was
not one of those known to us today.
