The second book of Aristotle’s Poetics, with a Latin translation and a commentary on the Greek text by Antonio Montecatini. The first book dealt with tragedy and epic poetry; this volume explained comedy. The two books together had an incalculable influence on theater practice in the West. The last existing copy was burned in a monastery fire in the Piedmont in 1327.
