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

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output, published and unpublished, attributable to Giorgio Val-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.
