Sažetak
In the year 1474, young Ludovicus Cipiko (1456—1504), a Paduan student from Trogir and later bishop of Famagosta, composed a Latin funeral elegy Naenia Alouisii Cippici de clarissimo adolescente Petro Rhiario, Sixti summi pontificis nepote. This poem of 124 verses has hitherto been known only from a MS in Bavarian State Library, Clm 716, fol. 130r—132r. Lately, however, the same elegy has been identified as the only text by Cipiko in a manuscript miscellany in the National Library of France, Lat. 8731, fol. 79r—81v. We list seventeen memorable textual variants found in this MS, categorizing them in four groups: 1. those which offer important new readings (verses 8b—8c, 89—90, 97); 2. those who offer better readings or confirm previous emendations (vv. 41, 107, 120); 3. variants which are of stylistic value, while those in Clm 716 are equally acceptable (vv. 17, 46, 56, 71, 88, 104, 111, 117); 4. obvious scribal errors in Lat. 8731 (vv. 31, 60, 71, 97, 105, 107). It is to be noted that vv. 71, 97, 107 offer at the same time new or better readings and scribal errors.
In Lat. 8731 there are two new verses (8b—8c); at the same time, this MS leaves out the distich 89—90. Both variants indicate that neither Lat. 8731 was transcribed from Clm 716, nor the other way around. Though hitherto unknown, the new distich 8b—8c is somewhat superfluous for functioning of the poem as a whole. On the other hand, omission of 89—90 produces a stylistically and rhetorically detrimental effect. Therefore, the omission of 8b—8c in Clm 716 is more easily considered as an authorial improvement.
Finally, collation of Lat. 8731 led us to correct two readings from the editio princeps (Jovanović 2012). In v. 58 we would now rather read nostra, not mea; and in the problematic v. 108 reading urna seems at least equally possible as uena .
