The work, which is a premise for further developments, makes a plausible hypothesis on the geographical origin of the Salmasianus manuscript. It produces some evidences to support the opinion by Bischoff about a source of the manuscript from central Italy, by restricting mainly the area in the region between southern Tuscany and Umbria and identifying the likely production center of the manuscript in the Abbey of San Salvatore at Monte Amiata.

Abstract
The work, which is a premise for further developments, makes a plausible hypothesis on the geographical origin of the Salmasianus manuscript. It produces some evidences to support the opinion by Bischoff about a source of the manuscript from central Italy, by restricting mainly the area in the region between southern Tuscany and Umbria and identifying the likely production center of the manuscript in the Abbey of San Salvatore at Monte Amiata. This conclusion is reached ‘in progress’, for now, through the examination of the similarities, on the paleographic point of view, of the Salmasianus manuscript with two products, the origin of which is linked to the same center at the Monte Amiata: that is to say Pal. Lat. 165, the codex unicus of Firmicus Maternus’s De errore profanarum religionum, and Vat. Lat. 3314, which preserves the commentary to Horatius by Porphyrio. In an addendum to the end of the paper you can find other manuscripts, surely coming from the same center, which deserve to be collated in order to reconstruct the activities of mss. production in the same scriptorium through the ages.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
