The previously unknown source of Book 3 of Cardinal Bessarion's 'In calumniatorem
Platonis'. Cardinal Bessarion's great defense of Plato, the 'In calumniatorem Platonis',
written in response to George of Trebizond's 'Comparatio philosophorum Platonis et
Aristotelis' and first published in 1469, was the first substantial statement of Platonism
in the Plato-Aristotle Controversy of the Renaissance. Bessarion, however, had first
written the 'In calumniatorem' a decade earlier, in 1459, without the massive Book
III of the 1469 edition proving that medieval scholasticism supported Bessarion's
interpretation of Plato and Aristotle. With the discovery of the treatise 'Notata'
by the Dominican theologian Giovanni Gatti, we now know the source of Bessarion's
new found erudition in medieval scholasticism. Bessarion initially attempted to incorporate
Gatti's 'Notata' whole cloth into the 'In calumniatorem Platonis', but in the end
he exploited it as a storehouse of the scholastic references, quotations, and arguments
that made up the new Book III of the 1469 'In calumniatorem Platonis'. Thus, Giovanni
Gatti's treatise played a major, though anonymous role in the Plato-Aristotle controversy
for the rest of the Renaissance as Bessarion's work became in its turn a much used
authority and source of information
