Abstract

Analysis of a point of textual criticism pertaining to a passage on perfumes and the scent of land found in Cic. "de Orat." 3, 99 and mentioned by Pliny in Nat. 13, 21 and "Nat." 17, 38. In order to reassess the matter in question, we re‐examine the opinions expressed by the humanists and later scholars and we make use of the first study, critical edition and translation of a letter from Celio Calcagnini to Camilo Vistarini, sent from Buda in 1518, where the passage is discussed taking into consideration its transmission and reception in Pliny’s "Naturalis Historia"
