In a recent article published in Aevum, Gerard González Germain examines the epigraphic activity of the humanist, collector, and antiquarian Angelo Colocci (1474-1549). The study draws on Colocci’s annotations in the printed books of his personal library, alongside his epigrammatic and antiquarian manuscripts. Newly identified materials discussed in the paper include a topographic description of ancient Rome, written circa 1500 and formerly owned by Bertrandus Vaqueras (d. 1507), as well as an excerpt from a previously unidentified treatise by the notorious forger Annius of Viterbo.
