The paper analyzes the marginalia in two autograph manuscripts of Parthenopeus sive Amorum by Giovanni Pontano: Ambros. O. 74. sup. = A; Cortona, Municipal Biblioteca, ms. 84 = C. The annotations (written by author’s own hand and present in greater number in manuscript of Ambrosiana Library) have different connotations: next to notabilia, in justification of lexical and grammatical uses, there are exegetical notes which illuminate the background of Pontano’s poetry and often seek to clarify the mythological inventions, mostly aitia, linked to Naples and its its surrounding territory. The essay offers a detailed sampling of these notes
