Margherita Costa (c. 1600 – after 1657) was an Italian Baroque singer, performer, and writer. Virginia Cox has described Costa as the "most distinctly 'seventeenth-century' of seventeenth-century female poets . . . , [whose works] are deserving of a far closer critical scrutiny than they have hitherto received" (213-214). Jessica Goethals and Sara Diaz have recently contributed to that critical work with their forthcoming edition and translation of Costa's The Buffoons in The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe series.


The Folger holds a significant collection of Costa's printed works, including

  • Istoria del viaggio d'Alemagna del serenissimo Gran Duca di Toscana Ferdinando Secondo, [The History of Grand Duke of Florence Ferdinando II's Trip to Germany], Venice, [1630?]. Folger call number: 223- 098q (Hamnet record)
  • Il violino, [The Violin], Frankfurt: per Daniel Wastch, 1638. Folger call number: 199- 908q (Hamnet record). Electronic version of Harvard copy.
