  • Polemiche Letterarie Nella Lirica Italiana Del Duecento*
    Polemiche letterarie nella lirica italiana del Duecento* Simone MARCENARO Departamento de Filoloxía Galega Área de Filoloxía Románica Universidade de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] RESUMEN El articulo pretende delinear el tema de la “polémica literaria” en la lírica italiana del XIII siglo, conside- rando los núcleos más representativos que marcan los debates de argumento literario, desde los poetas sicilianos hasta las experiencias de los “Stilnovisti” e de Dante. La actitud contrastiva en el ámbito meta- poético se atesta casi exclusivamente en los sonetos dialógicos (“tenzoni”), a partir de los que es posible esbozar el canon literario contemporáneo, evidenciando la influencia de modelos poéticos de grande importancia, como Guittone d’Arezzo o Guido Guinizzelli. La polémica, además, se realiza en la inmensa mayoría de los casos según una actitud “seria”, que excluye el vituperium o los núcleos burlescos de los poetas “comico-realistici”, cuya ausencia resalta en un panorama, el de la lírica románica medieval, en que este tipo de debates entran en cambio con frecuencia en los géneros propiamente satíricos. Palabras clave: lírica italiana del XIII siglo; tenzones; sonetos; polémica literaria; Poetas sicilianos; Guittone d’Arezzo; Guido Guinizzelli; Bonagiunta da Lucca; Cino da Pistoia; Guido Cavalcanti; Dante. Literary polemics in the XIIIth century’s Italian lyric poetry ABSTRACT The article deals with the theme of literary polemics in the Italian lyric poetry of the XIIIth century, focusing on the most representative and the most relevant aspects of the literary debate: from Sicilian lyric poetry to Dolce stil novo and Dante. The contrastive attitude in the metaliterary sphere is to be found almost exclusively in dialogical sonetti (“tenzoni”): analyzing their texts proves helpful in describing the contemporary literary canon and allows to point out the influence of major poetic models such as Guit- tone d’Arezzo or Guido Guinizzelli.

  • Hispania, Italia and Occitania: Latin and the Vernaculars, Bilingualism Or Multilingualism?
    chapter 1 Hispania, Italia and Occitania: Latin and the Vernaculars, Bilingualism or Multilingualism? Arie Schippers Romance Vernaculars From medieval times in Italy, the Romance vernaculars and their literatures stood opposite Latin, which was the official, Church and literary language. Dante Alighieri’s Latin work De vulgari eloquentia is a testimony to this linguis- tic situation. The work describes the situation in Italy and is to a large extent the justification of the place that Dante’s poetry school occupied in the overall picture. But the situation in Italy—the cradle of Latin—does not stand in iso- lation from the rest of southern Europe, such as Hispania (Arabic al-Andalus and the region of present-day Spain and Portugal) and their respective litera- tures, and Occitania, the region where the oldest vernacular lyric of medieval Europe manifested itself, mainly in the love poetry of the troubadours. Occitan The linguistic space of Occitania was originally around Toulouse, in the Languedoc, in Provence and in Aquitania, the region that today we call the Midi. Occitania is a relatively new name for the region where Occitan was spoken. The name is derived from the word oc (Latin hoc), which means ‘yes’. The earlier terms Provence, Provençal, or Languedoc or Aquitania were not sufficient to denote the linguistic region. Today, however, the language from the north of France called langue d’oïl (Latin hoc illud / hoc ille) dominates the whole area that we call the Midi or southern France. There are some specific language pockets where Occitan dialects are still spoken, for example in the Aran valley in Spain, where the Aranese Occitan dialect is an officially rec- ognized language.1 Moreover, there is a certain artificial revival of forms of 1 In Val d’Aran teaching at elementary schools starts with three years of Aranes.

Eisner, Supervisor ___________________________ David F. Bell, III ___________________________ Roberto Dainotto ___________________________ Valeria Finucci An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2018 Copyright by Laura Banella 2018 Abstract Rewriting Dante explores Dante’s reception and the construction of his figure as an author in early lyric anthologies and modern editions. While Dante’s reception and his transformation into a cultural authority have traditionally been investigated from the point of view of the Commedia, I argue that these lyric anthologies provide a new perspective for understanding how the physical act of rewriting Dante’s poems in various combinations and with other texts has shaped what I call after Foucault the Dante function” and consecrated Dante as an author from the Middle Ages to Modernity. The study of these lyric anthologies widens our understanding of the process of Dante’s canonization as an author and, thus, as an authority (auctor & auctoritas), advancing our awareness of authors both as entities that generate power and that are generated by power.

  • American Dante Bibliography for 1971.Pdf
    American Dante Bibliography for 1971 Anthony L. Pellegrini This bibliography is intended to include the Dante translations published in this country in 1971 and all Dante studies and reviews published in 1971 that are in any sense American. The latter criterion is construed to include foreign reviews of American publications pertaining to Dante. Translations Dante’s Inferno. Translated with notes and commentary by Mark Musa. Bloomington and London: Indiana University Press, 1971. xxxii, 286 p. illus. (Also, a paperback edition, “Midland Books” MB-145.) The version is done in blank verse preserving the tercet divisions, in which the translator has striven to listen carefully to Dante’s own voice and “to find a style that does not call attention to itself.” A foreword, “On Being a Good Lover,” deals with problems of translating and the criteria observed for this version of Dante’s poem. A section of narrative abstracts of the individual cantos precedes the translation, which is also accompanied by interpretative notes following each canto. The illustrations consist of a number of drawings by Richard M. Powers. (For reviews, see below.) The Divine Comedy. [I.] Inferno. Translated, with a commentary, by Charles S. Singleton.

DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI published in 1861 his book The Early Italian Poets, which is the first form of the present book named Dante and his Circle. Ever since its first publication this series of translations has occupied, I think, a somewhat peculiar position ; partly as being the only form in which a large portion of the poems here treated are available for English readers; and partly because the Italian compositions have so special a character of their own, and the translator has entered so keenly into their spirit, and has reinforced this with so manifest a ^ poetic tone and savour proper to himself, that the ^fc versions have taken rank as a sort of cross between Hptranslated and original work. They have been accepted ^F as bringing the English reader as close to the mediaeval ^^ Italians as he is ever likely to be brought ; and also as ^introducing him to the tone and quality of Rossetti's own mind and hand in poetic production.

  • LA SCUOLA SICILIANA • 1230: in Sicilia → Sotto Il Dominio Di
    LA SCUOLA SICILIANA • 1230: in Sicilia → sotto il dominio di Federico II di Svevia → nasce la “Scuola Siciliana” • I membri (gli intellettuali) di questa scuola erano i funzionari di corte → non svolgevano il ruolo di poeta come principale impiego (esempio: Giacomo da Lentini era un notaio) • La scuola siciliana era pensata come uno svago\evasione dalle occupazioni quotidiane • Il tema dell’amore è dominante sia dal punto di vista teorico (ci si chiedeva che cosa fosse l’amore, in che modo si manifestasse e quali effetti avesse) sia come omaggio feudale verso la donna amata (il poeta cerca di stabilire con la donna amata una comunicazione attraverso immagini e segnali che solo la donna sa cogliere) • Forme tipiche di questa poesia: canzone, canzonetta e sonetto • Lingua: siciliano “illustre” → arrivato a noi tramite la “toscanizzazione” da parte dei copisti toscani • Caposcuola: Giacomo da Lentini → è considerato l’inventore del sonetto • Alla morte di Manfredi (figlio di Federico II) nella battaglia di Benevento nel 1266 finisce il regno svevo → finisce la scuola siciliana → ma la sua produzione si diffonde in Toscana perché nascono i rimatori siculo-toscani ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I RIMATORI SICULO-TOSCANI • Alla fine del 1200 nasce in Toscana una nuova lirica → lirica d’amore e se ne occupano i rimatori siculo-toscani (cittadini impegnati in politica) • I rimatori siculo-toscani provengono quasi tutti dalla Toscana e prendono dai siciliani la maniera di scrivere poesie • Introducono delle novità: 1. Accanto al tema amoroso ricompaiono i temi morali e politici 2. Introducono la ballata (sconosciuta ai siciliani) • Il principale esponente è Guittone d’Arezzo (circa 1230-94): autore di Rime, un Trattato d’Amore, Lettere e ballate-laude a carattere morale-religioso.

    Sì come dice lo Filosofo: Translating Philosophy in the Early Italian Lyric Akash Kumar Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 ©2013 Akash Kumar All rights reserved ABSTRACT Sì come dice lo Filosofo: Translating Philosophy in the Early Italian Lyric Akash Kumar This study pushes back to the origins of the Italian lyric tradition in order to demonstrate that the impulse to distill the highest levels of intellectual culture into the vernacular love lyric was present from the very inception of the poetic vernacular. I aim to nuance our understanding of the divide between the early schools of poetry as determined by Dante in his role as a literary historian by analyzing early experiments in vulgarizing philosophy and science in the lyric production of Giacomo da Lentini, Guido delle Colonne, Guittone d’Arezzo, and Guido Guinizzelli. By isolating both formal elements of Scholastic argumentation and complex renderings of philosophical/scientific ideas, I develop a broad understanding of the early vernacular poetic engagement with Aristotelian philosophy that encompasses such areas as sensory perception, meteorology, and ethics. I trace the progression of this engagement from its Sicilian beginnings to the poetry of Guido Guinizzelli that is informed by the university culture of Bologna and posit that this early lyric form of vernacular humanism has profound implications for Dante’s poetic identity as well as the development of a vernacular intellectual identity that feeds in to such developments as Humanism and the Scientific Revolution.

    IL LINGUAGGIO SEGRETO DI DANTE E DEI FEDELI D'AMORE VOL. II Luigi Valli VIII. Il dolce stil novo. Saggio di poesie tradotte dal gergo Bel Tappeto alcun celone mise fuor li drappi ROTTI ovra è questa d'uomin docti se nel tempo e luogo non è. F. da Barberino Ecco ora un saggio di poesie del dolce stil novo o di poeti vicini a esso tradotte nel loro significato reale. Ne scelgo alcune tra le più oscure, altre tra le più chiare per mostrare come la differenza tra le une e le altre sia, come ho già detto, questa sola: che nelle poesie chiare il poeta è riuscito a dare anche al suo pensiero esteriore una continuità logica e una certa coerenza e talora una grazia artistica, mentre nelle poesie più oscure non è riuscito a esprimersi con questa logica e con questa grazia. Nelle prime è riuscito a far camminare parallelamente il pensiero segreto e il pensiero apparente, nelle seconde il pensiero apparente è risultato confuso e artefatto o insulso o ha lasciato qualche squarcio di illogicità. E non esito a dire che abbastanza insulso esso risulta in una grandissima parte delle poesie di questi poeti, quantunque quel pubblico che conosce dalle antologie soltanto le poche poesie belle (cioè ben riuscite anche nel senso letterale), possa avere un'impressione del tutto diversa. L'esempio di queste poesie basterà, io credo, a far vedere come si debbano intendere tutte le altre e ad aprire uno spiraglio sopra un mondo che è ancora tutto da esplorare. E come se chi conosce soltanto la Roma che è «sopra terra, discendesse a un tratto e si aggirasse nelle catacombe ove per tanto tempo si è svolta una vita così intensa di mistico fervore.
