An account of a banquet patterned after the Symposium, in which nine persons take turns in discussing Plato's dialogue, assuming the names of his nine characters. "Questo convito accade davvero, e ... davvero vi si parlò del 'Simposio' di Platone: solo del descrivere quel convito il Ficino sostitui il proprio commento ai discorsi dei convitati".--A. della Torre, Storia dell' Accademia platonica, p. 604.
"Osservazioni per la pronunzia fiorentina di Neri Dorteláta da Firenze" (p. [6]-[38] at beginning) is believed to be by Cosimo Bartoli. It deals with the correct representation of the sounds of the Italian language, by means of accents and the introduction of new letters (j and v, as distinct from i and u, etc.)
