Résumé :

On leaving Venice for southern Italy in the winter of 1510-11 Aulo Giano Parrasio took with him some ninety books belonging to the young Hellenist Vittorio Falconio. A dozen of them are listed by Falconio in a letter addressed to Jacopo Sannazaro. The article shows that nearly all of these, and at least two more, can be identified with certainty or high probability among MSS from Parrasio’s legacy, now dispersed in various collections. Moreover most of them seem to have previously belonged to the famous Venetian library of the Barbaro family, from which a number of books apparently leaked out in 1500-1510. An appendix supplies new palaeographical evidence for the identification of Vittorio Falconio with the well known humanist Vettor Fausto.
