A translation of Vitruvius and copies of late antique drawings in Buonaccorso Ghiberti's Zibaldone

This article focuses on the translation of Vitruvius in Buonaccorso Ghiberti’s Zibaldone; studied through the means of diplomatic, paleography, linguistics and architecture history. The translation may be a transcription of another transcript probably owned by Lorenzo Ghiberti in his workshop. The latter one in turn should be based on a copy of a manuscript written a few centuries before, this one coming from a text made in the Carolingean age, derived from a manuscript of the late antiquity. In the appendix, transcript and critical edition of the Zibaldone translation.
