Summary:

Compilation of the works of Antonio Ricco, especially important for the "farze" which represent two of the earliest examples of Renaissance drama. The two plays (leaves N1v-P3r), transplanted by Ricco from Naples to Venice, and perhaps to other southern Italian cities as well, are populated with figures of classical mythology. Some of the speakers in the first play include Pallas, Iunone, Phoebo, and Cupid; the second play includes Mercury and Cupid. A note at the end of the second play states that it was "acta & recitata ...in Vinetia ad di xii de Febraro. M.D.VII in la casa del magnifico misser Marino Malippiero per la nobile Compagnia de' Fausti." For background on the "Fausti," see L. Zorzi, "Elementi per la visualizzazione della scena veneta prima del Palladio," in Studi sul teatro veneto fra Rinascimento ed età barroca, edited by M.T. Muraro (Firenze, 1971).
