Abstract: The ms. 226 of the Biblioteca Universitaria of Bologna transmits a collection of petitions and letters of grace in ancient Italian vernacular gathered in the second half of the fifteenth century by Bartolomeo di Benincà from Ferrara for the lord of Faenza Astorre II Manfredi. Within an antiquarian context that involves both the creation of the manuscript and the content level, the Formulario sets up a refined strategy for constructing the image of Manfredi, offering a representation of the lord in the guise of the wise and eloquent prince of antiquity, who manages with magnanimity and fairness the justice in the small town community placed under his dominion. A critical and digital edition of the Formulario for Astorre II Manfredi is offered here.
