Abstract

Among the almost unexplored latin poems by the late Renaissance writer Luigi Groto (1541-1585) – better known as Cieco d’Adria, because of his blindness – we find a three lines poem that at first sight may seem just a confused set of letters. The latest critical edition, published in 2014, does not solve the mistery. Thanks to a marginal note on the copy of the editio princeps of the Rime (1577) kept in the Oliveriana Library in Pesaro, we can recognize in that letters a couplet following the rare scheme of versus concordantes.
