• Resumen

  • Critical stuides have dealt for some time now with the important role played by Bolognese codes in the formation and development of Neapolitan manuscript illumination between the second half of the 13th century and the early decades of the 14th. However, it is no easy matter to recognize the Emilian manuscripts that circulated in Naples. The relatively few ones known so far are mainly about law, a circumstance due to the important role Bologna played in the production of juridical studies. For this very reason it is particularly significant to have been able to associate ms. VII.AA.8 in the Naples National Library -a commentary on the Psalms by Pietro Lombardo- with the Angevin Naples environment. The codex, of Emilian provenance and datable between the late 12th century and early 13th, was already in Naples by the early 14th century when a French miniaturist well known to critical studies added two illuminated initials to f. 2r. It has not yet been ascertaned how the codex got to Naples, but it was still being consulted in the 15th and 16th centuries, when its presence is attested at the Augustinian convent in the town of San Giovanni a Carbonara.
