Sumario:This paper aims to bring to the attention of scholars an unpublished and never investigated epic poem transmitted in the codex Marciano Latino XII 135 (= 4100). The content of the text will be presented by way of commenting on the passages that are considered most significant and discussing their poetic sources and strong political motivations. An interpretation of the text from the perspective of political propaganda linked to the Rimini court of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta will be proposed. A proposal will be made for the attribution of the poem, contextualizing it, pending more in-depth studies, within the Malatesta production of the humanist Basinio da Parma.
