Revival of Antiquity and Quotations, Re-uses between Venice and Milan in the 15th-Century Illumination: The Case of Francesco Filelfo and Filarete

Giordana Mariani Canova
The essay analyses the spreading of the bianchi girari humanistic decoration in Venice at the beginning of the 15th century and examines two Greek codices with similar initials written for Francesco Filelfo in Constantinople in 1426 and brought by him to Venice in 1427 (Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Plut. 60.18; Plut. 55.19). For the illuminations of the Aristotle the ascription to Cristoforo Cortese in Venice in 1427 is confirmed while for the Xenophon the author poposes an initial Venetian decoration and a completion in Milan in the fifties by Antonio Averlino called the Filarete who executed the heraldry.
