‎This work completes Folchino dei Borfoni?s collected works, the first of which were offered in the edition of his grammatical text, Cremonina (CC CM, 201). This final volume presents the first critical edition and study of the remainder of Folchino?s known teaching texts, Divisiones super Virgilium, Divisiones super Lucanum, and Memorialia, encompassing minute textual divisions, paraphrases, summaries, mnemonic verse arguments, and occasionally exegesis on the works by Virgil, Lucan, Ovid, Seneca the Younger, and Statius. While steeped in contemporary academic traditions, Folchino employs the methodologies of the divisio textus and mnemonic verses in unique ways to teach classical literature to his fourteenth-century Northern Italian students, providing a rare insight into daily medieval lesson plans on the threshold of Italian Humanism. These texts will interest not only scholars and students of medieval Latin and classical literature but also those interested in the history of education, memory and mnemonics in the Middle Ages, medieval commentary, and the reception of the classical auctores. The introduction to the volume situates Folchino?s Divisiones and Memorialia within medieval pedagogical tradition and draws on codicological and textual evidence. The introduction concludes with an analysis of a range of aspects, including structure, sources, exegetical methods, language and style.‎
