The article focuses on a recent discovery regarding Ms. 114 from the
Library of the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersbourg. The codex contains
a Latin translation of Filarete’s treatise on architecture, drawn up
between 1488 and 1489 for Matthias Corvinus King of Hungary. Known
since 1960, in 2000 this valuable document was singled out as of
particular importance among the copies derived from the original Latin
version (now kept at the Marciana Library in Venice as Lat. VIII, 2 =
2796), mainly because – as inferred from several hints within the text –
it had been commissioned by a scholar from Padua deeply interested in
Alberti. Now, the attribution of the illustrations to Antonio Maria da
Villafora, an artist operating in Padua before 1511 – the year of his death
– allows us to identify the unknown patron as Pietro Barozzi, humanist
bishop of Padua between 1487 and 1507, and nephew of Giovanni
Barozzi, bishop of Bergamo, who in 1457 assigned Filarete to the project
for his town’s new cathedral.
