Resumo

The article treats the Italian tradition of the De rerum natura of Lucretius, more specifically the manuscript «Savignano sul Rubicone», which has been little studied. The manuscript and text of the poem are described, and thereby situated in the Italian tradition. It is proposed that this manuscript was transcribed by Pomponio Leto, one of the greatest figures of fifteenth-century Italian humanism, during his imprisonment in Castel Sant’Angelo. It is thus possible to affirm that one family of the manuscripts of Lucretius emanates from Pomponio Leto: the Neapolitanus, the Savignanus and the Basiliensis, as well as the incunable in Utrecht of the Verona edition (1486), which he annotated and corrected.
