The article describes a hitherto unknown copy of the editio princeps of the 'Theologia Platonica', recently donated to the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence, which contains several authorial notes in the hand of Luca Fabiani, the trusted secretary of Marsilio Ficino. The first part of the article relates how the volume was acquired, gives a description of the copy and explains how the annotations were shown to be in Fabiani’s hand. The second section looks closely at the 'marginalia', which all import the changes made in the 'errata corrige' into the text except for one, a hitherto unknown and unpublished small addendum to Ficino’s philosophical masterpiece. In conclusion, new findings on the connections between this edition and the manuscript in the Laurenziana Library, Plut.83.10, are presented.

Abstract
The article describes a hitherto unknown copy of the editio princeps of the 'Theologia Platonica', recently donated to the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence, which contains several authorial notes in the hand of Luca Fabiani, the trusted secretary of Marsilio Ficino. The first part of the article relates how the volume was acquired, gives a description of the copy and explains how the annotations were shown to be in Fabiani’s hand. The second section looks closely at the 'marginalia', which all import the changes made in the 'errata corrige' into the text except for one, a hitherto unknown and unpublished small addendum to Ficino’s philosophical masterpiece. In conclusion, new findings on the connections between this edition and the manuscript in the Laurenziana Library, Plut.83.10, are presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
