La prima traduzione latina del De musica attribuito a Plutarco fu portata a termine alla fine del XV sec. dall’umanista bresciano Carlo Valgulio, che la pubblicò nella sua città nel 1507, corredandola di un’importante intro-duzione, il Prooemium in Musicam Plutarchi ad Titum Pyrrhinum. Quest’articolo analizza approfondita-mente entrambi i testi, ponenedone in luce caratteristiche, finalità, circolazio-ne e recezione. Particolare attenzione viene dedicata all’individuazione delle fonti greche del Prooemium e alle modalità della loro rielaborazione da parte di Valgulio.
