• Resumen

  • It is quite clear that a critical edition of Scalvini’s works is fraught with complications, due in part to the author’s own recalcitrance, which led him to publish such a scant number of his works, as well as to the controversial editions later edited by Niccolò Tommaseo, the friend to whom Scalvini had willed his manuscripts. File III of the “Salghetti-Drioli” collection contains a likely autograph of the short text Considerazioni morali sull’Ortis, and thus represents a significant philological tool in furthering studies on Scalvini. The discovery makes it possible not only to produce a new critical edition of the text, but also – through a comparison with the only other edition available today (edited in 1871 as a Preface to Foscolo’s Jacopo Ortis) – to shed light on the methods adopted by Tommaseo when publishing Scalvini’s writings.
