Abstract
The essay examines the print publications of Torquato Tasso’s works in the early 1580s, when the poet, due to his reclusion at Sant’Anna, has no way to control the diffusion of his works. For this reason, different editions proliferated, fundamentally without the poet’s authorization, destined to substantially mark the texts’ recognition. In the second part of the essay a reflection is proposed on the relationship that Torquato Tasso builds with literary writing and its tangible medium, be it manuscript or print
