Abstract: The Alfonsi Regis Triumphus describes the triumph celebrated in Naples by Alfonso the Magnanimous on February 26th, 1443, after the conquest of the Kingdom, completed in June of the previous year. Probably written close to the event, but completed in 1455, together with the De dictis et factis Alfonsi Regis and the Oratio in expeditionem contra Turcos is a masterpiece of the “monarchical” Humanism, which flourished at the royal court of Naples.

This edition is based on the ms. of the Vatican Apostolic Library, Urb. lat. 1185, written by Petrus Ursuleus († 1483), renowned copyist of the library of the Aragonese kings of Naples, for the Duke of Urbino Federico da Montefeltro.
