• Resumen

  • Despite recent research, there are only a few known examples of Ligurian illumination in the fourteenth century. The present essay focuses on two manuscripts: the first is the so-called Cocharelli codex whose history, based on newly discovered documents, is being reinterpreted in the context of its function in the mercantile society of Genoa and its overseas colonies in the early fourteenth century. The second is a codex of moralizing texts commissioned by the Agustinians and unjustly forgotten despite being an important testimony of the artistic currents flourishing in the second half of the fourteenth century in Liguria, at the crossroads between Siena and Avignon.
