Julia Alpinula, pseudo-heroine of Helvetia : how a forged Renaissance epitaph fostered a national myth /
Freeman, Arthur,1938-author.
Bibliotheca Fictiva, a descriptive account of a collection of books and manuscripts relating to litrary forgery, was published by Bernard Quaritch, Ltd in September 2014, one year ago. This cautionary tale, which I had intended to accompany a discussion of Roman inscriptions and Renaissance epigraphy in the general preface to that book, was inadvertently omitted, and all but overlooked in the subsequent inventory, save for passing references at nos. 257 and 273. Many of the source materials listed at pages 57--65 below have now joined the Bibliotheca Fictiva collection in the Sheridan libraries of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.
