Per un'edizione delle postille di Niccolò Tommaseo alla Crusca veronese del Cesari

Abstract

This article examines the handwritten annotations made by Niccolò Tommaseo in the first volume of the Crusca veronese edited by Abbot Antonio Cesari. It retraces the research process carried out by the author, with particular attention to the transcription and analysis of these annotations, aiming to reconstruct the Dalmatian scholar's linguistic reflections and lexicographic methods. The study highlights the systematic nature of Tommaseo's annotations and connects them to his later lexicographic works, such as the Nuovo dizionario de' sinonimi and the Dizionario della lingua italiana. Finally, the article presents a sample critical edition of selected annotations, accompanied by a discussion of the editorial criteria applied.
