EMORE PAOLI
Autori latini classici nel Legendarium di Pietro Calò. Un primo sondaggio

An initial survey of the Latin authors quoted in the Legendarium composed between 1330 and 1342 by the Dominican friar Pietro Calò reveals that the compiler, although he had a conspicuous classical library at his disposal, made use almost exclusively of repertories, encyclopedias, philosophical summa, and moral specula. Nevertheless, his intellectual attitude towards classicism, assessed in relation to hagiography, constitutes an interesting but unfortunate novelty.
