- Abstract
In 1556, Jean de Tournes and Guillaume Gazeau published the first commented edition of Alciato's Emblemata. The volume included Latin commentaries written by Sebastian Stockhamer, an unknown figure among 16th century scholars. Although the interpretative notes did not apply to all emblems, this publication opened a new chapter in the complex editorial history of the famous book by the Milanese jurist. Competing with other commentaries that became more popular (such as those by Mignault or El Brocense), Stockhamer's notes were reprinted several times. However, the passage of time seems to have eradicated all traces of the unfortunate commentator, condemning his pioneering work to oblivion. This study aims, therefore, to update the information available on this reader of Alciato, reflecting on the context of the production of the comments, elucidating his method and discussing his contribution to the diffusion of the commented editions. In this way, the study proposes to shed new light on the role that Stockhamer played in the dissemination of the Emblemata.
