On the occasion of the XIV triennial conference of the Società Italiana di Filologia Romanza (SIFR), La filologia romanza fra manoscritti e testi (Milan, 1-4 October 2024) Marta Milazzo presented a contribution dedicated to the ms. Rennes, Bibliothèque municipale, 593. This codex, of particular interest for the Mermaid project, constitutes a prestigious collection of didactic and astrological texts. Going beyond the category, now in need of updating, of ‘manoscritto contenitore’, the paper proposed to study MS. Rennes, attempting to identify the logic that must have governed its internal organisation and to enhance the unitary editorial process, as well as the historical uniqueness in the horizon of production and use.
