The manuscript lat. 7939A in the Bibliothèque nationale de France was crafted in Ferrara, Italy, in 1458-1459 and includes a selection of Vergilian works, namely the Bucolicon, Georgicon, Aeneid, Appendix, and Donatus auctus. The codex, written on parchment and made up of 231 folios, bears the signature, together with the indication of the date and place of compilation, of Leonardo Sanudo, a Venetian nobleman active at that time at the Estense court. Sanudo was not only the copyist but probably also the commissioner and owner of the manuscript. Guglielmo Giraldi and Giorgio d’Alemagna, two prominent figures of figurative art in Ferrara, were responsible for the beautiful decorative apparatus.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
