Woodcut vignette to title-page and to verso of colophon-leaf. (10), 308, (12) ff. The rare first edition of Vittore's main work, his great edition, translation, and commentary on Aristotle's Poetics, which is arguably the most important and influential commentary on the work ever published, profoundly shaping our understanding and interpretation of Aristotelian literary theory. Petrus Victorius (or Piero/ Pietro Vittore/Vettore) (1499-1584) is not only the ?first great editor of the Poetics? (McMahon), he is also considered "the greatest Greek scholar of Italy" (Whibley), ?the leading Italian scholar of his time? (Encycl. Britt.), ?the last great figure [from that period] in the domain of Greek studies? (Willamowitz), and ?the foremost representative of classical scholarship in [Italy] during the sixteenth century, which, for Italy at least, may well be called the ?saeculum Victorianum.? (Sandys). His magnum opus and without doubt most influential work is his edition with commentary of Aristotle?s Poetics, which is of seminal importance in several respects. It is crucial to our understanding of Aristotle?s great work, shaping the way that all later scholars have read it. The understanding of Aristotle?s work on poetry came to define the way that we have understood literature and fiction ever since the Renaissance, and Victorius is the leading interpreter. ??From the sixteenth century to Romanticism, European literary theory used the term marvel or wonder (It. meraviglia, ammirabile, Fr. merveille, Sp. maravilla) to designate everything that was on the conceptual margins of the poetics of probability and imitation. The discovery and complete reception of Aristotle?s Poetics between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries resulted in the dissemination of an idea of poetry as the imitation of the actions of men, whose main part was the plot, or the structuring of actions ordered according to the laws of necessity, credibility and probability. This formed the basis of Neo-Aristotelian poetics, which determined the ways of thinking about literature and fiction for more than four centuries.? (Vega p. 280). Especially the idea of ?wonder? in Aristotle?s Poetics came to be one of the founding ideas of modern literary theory. And especially here, Victurius? reading is groundbreaking, playing a central part in the reception and understanding of the work over the centuries to come. ?A single editorial decision in just one passage (and what is more, in a complex, fragmentary, unfinished text like the Poetics) affects the entire work?? (Vega, p. 284). ?The text of the Poetics that can be read in the editions and translations of the sixteenth century and a large part of the seventeenth (with one exception, as we shall see [NB. This exception is Victorius] ) does not include the term alogon in the passage that deals with wonder. It does not appear in the first Greek edition, the famous Aldine princeps of 1508, or in the Latin translations of the end of the fifteenth century" it is not in the edition and translation by Alexander Paccius or Pazzi, the one most widely read in the sixteenth century, neither does it appear in the edition with commentary by Francesco Robortello, nor in Vincenzo Maggi?s Enarrationes, nor in the vernacular commentaries of Ludovico Castelvetro and Alessandro Piccolomini. What is more, a detailed revision of the history of the text reveals that no manuscript of the Poetics and no direct or indirect testimonies (not even in the Arabic branch of its transmission) have ever included the term alogon.? (Vega, p. 282). It is Victorius, who is solely responsible for the reading.…
