Per un riordino delle opere di Giorgio Valla nel coacervo di scritti editi, inediti e presudonimi

This paper aims to provide a reasoned account of the literary output, published and unpublished, attributable to Giorgio Val- la, including both his translations from Greek and his independ- ent work, as well as texts that for convenience he had printed under a pseudonym or that appeared as written or edited by his adopted son Giovan Pietro Cademosto, an otherwise unknown figure who was responsible for serious alterations, if not actual falsifications, in the posthumously published writings of his fa- ther. How far we still are from a full knowledge of this human- ist’s work is shown by the recent discovery of manuscripts that transmit writings of his whose existence was utterly unknown, such as the treatises on spelling and prosody De recto modo scribendi and De syllabarum dinoscenda quantitate.
