  • La Storia Di Roma in Dante
    FRANCESCA FONTANELLA La storia di Roma in Dante In L’Italianistica oggi: ricerca e didattica, Atti del XIX Congresso dell’ADI - Associazione degli Italianisti (Roma, 9-12 settembre 2015), a cura di B. Alfonzetti, T. Cancro, V. Di Iasio, E. Pietrobon, Roma, Adi editore, 2017 Isbn: 978-884675137-9 Come citare: Url = http://www.italianisti.it/Atti-di- Congresso?pg=cms&ext=p&cms_codsec=14&cms_codcms=896 [data consultazione: gg/mm/aaaa] L’Italianistica oggi © Adi editore 2017 FRANCESCA FONTANELLA La storia di Roma in Dante L’impero di Roma per Dante non è una realtà politica superata, ma una istituzione a lui contemporanea che si prolunga nel tempo da un lontano e nobile passato. La problematica ‘attuale’ del ruolo dell’impero nel mondo medievale influisce quindi profondamente sull’atteggiamento di Dante nei confronti della storia di Roma antica, che è chiamata in causa a dimostrare la ‘provvidenzialità’ e quindi la ‘giustizia’ dell’impero a lui contemporaneo. È una storia che ha come culmine Augusto, ovvero l’impero, della quale però si riportano essenzialmente fatti e personaggi in cui rifulge quella virtus repubblicana che avrebbe avuto il suo compimento proprio nel principato. Questa visione della storia di Roma è in fondo quella di Virgilio e di Livio: la prospettiva ‘attualizzante’ di Dante non costituisce quindi un impedimento alla comprensione dell’antica storia di Roma, ma anzi gli permette di entrare in sintonia con i suoi più antichi e autorevoli testimoni. La storia di Roma antica è per Dante, secondo la teoria della translatio imperii, la storia delle origini e dello sviluppo dell’impero a lui contemporaneo, ritenuto necessario al bene esse mundi.1 Pertanto questa storia è frequentemente chiamata in causa per dimostrare la ‘provvidenzialità’ e quindi la ‘giustizia’ di questo impero.

  • Brunetto Latini's Tesoro in Print
    David Napolitano Ex Historia 19 David Napolitano1 University of Cambridge Brunetto Latini’s Tesoro in print Brunetto Latini (c. 1220-1294), a Florentine notary, wrote one of the first European encyclopaediae in the vernacular, Li Livres dou Tresor, during an exile in France (1260-1266/7).2 This literary work consists of three books, hence the plural in its title.3 The first book deals with theoretical knowledge. After a brief presentation of the encyclopaedia’s organisational plan this book starts with a discussion of theological matters. Its central section contains a universal history. It continues with physics, cosmology, and geography, and it ends with mechanical arts and a bestiary. The first section of the second book is a translation of Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics, while the second part contains a panoply of moral precepts. The third and final book revolves around the art of rhetoric and politics. The Tresor instantly became a bestseller and its fortune extended widely beyond its place of origin. Originally written in the langue d’oïl (Old French) translations into Old Italian, generally referred to as the Tesoro, were quickly produced. The manuscript tradition spanned almost three centuries 1 David Napolitano ([email protected]) is a Ph.D Candidate in History at the University of Cambridge (2011-2014). Under the supervision of Professor David Abulafia he is preparing a thesis, entitled "The professional profile and moral code of conduct of the podestà in thirteenth-century Italy". His academic interest lies primarily in studying the political history of medieval Italy with an emphasis on the functioning of the podestà as a professional city magistrate, the development of a podestà literature, and the nexus between ethics and politics.

Phillips-Robins: SINGING FOR DANTE Bibliotheca Dantesca, 1 (2018): 127-145 SINGING FOR DANTE IN ‘PURGATORIO’ 30–31 HELENA PHILLIPS-ROBINS, University of Cambridge This essay investigates types of sociality enacted through song, as depicted in Dante’s Earthly Paradise. The first section of the essay argues that the singing of Psalm 30 (In te, Domine, speravi) in Purgatorio 30 is a way of enacting a particular mode of compassion. In the second section of the essay I argue that Dante’s depiction of Psalm 30—together with his depiction of the antiphon sung in Purgatorio 31, the Asperges me—invites a devotional response from the reader. The sociality of prayer can involve not only the characters, but also the readers of the Commedia. I investigate the liturgical context in which Dante and medieval readers would have known and lived the Asperges me. I argue that here, at the end of the narrative of his penitential journey, Dante, with this antiphon, invites the reader to her own performance of penance.

  • Dante's Inferno
    Dante’s Inferno: Critical Reception and Influence David Lummus Dante and the Divine Comedy have had a profound influence on the production of literature and the practice of literary criticism across the Western world since the moment the Comedy was first read. Al- though critics and commentators normally address the work as a whole, the first canticle, Inferno, is the part that has met with the most fervent critical response. The modern epoch has found in it both a mirror with which it might examine the many vices and perversions that define it and an obscure tapestry of almost fundamentalist pun- ishments that are entirely alien to it. From Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Osip Mandelstam in the early twentieth century to Seamus Heaney, W. S. Merwin, and Robert Pinsky at century’s end, modern poets of every bent have been drawn to the Inferno and to the other two canti- cles of the Comedy as an example of poetry’s world-creating power and of a single poet’s transcendence of his own spiritual, existential, and political exile.1 To them Dante was and is an example of how a poet can engage with the world and reform it, not just represent it, through the power of the poetic imagination. In order to understand how Dante and his poem have been received by critics and poets in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, we must glance—however curso- rily—at the seven-hundred-year critical tradition that has formed the hallowed academic institution of Dante studies. In this way, we can come to see the networks of understanding that bind Dante criticism across its history.

  • Syllabification of the Divine Comedy • 3 Accent and the Synalephe Propensity of the Word with Adjacent Ones
    Syllabification of the Divine Comedy ANDREA ASPERTI, University of Bologna, Department of Informatics: Science and Engineering (DISI), Italy STEFANO DAL BIANCO, University of Siena, Department of philology and literary criticism, Italy We provide a syllabification algorithm for the Divine Comedy using techniques from probabilistic and constraint program- ming. We particularly focus on the synalephe, addressed in terms of the “propensity” of a word to take part in a synalephe with adjacent words. We jointly provide an online vocabulary containing, for each word, information about its syllabification, the location of the tonic accent, and the aforementioned synalephe propensity, on the left and right sides. The algorithm is intrinsically nondeterministic, producing different possible syllabifications for each verse, with different likelihoods; metric constraints relative to accents on the 10th, 4th and 6th syllables are used to further reduce the solution space. The most likely syllabification is hence returned as output. We believe that this work could be a major milestone for a lot of different inves- tigations. From the point of view of digital humanities it opens new perspectives on computer assisted analysis of digital sources, comprising automated detection of anomalous and problematic cases, metric clustering of verses and their catego- rization, or more foundational investigations addressing e.g. the phonetic roles of consonants and vowels. From the point of view of text processing and deep learning, information about syllabification and the location of accents opens a wide range of exciting perspectives, from the possibility of automatic learning syllabification of words and verses, to the improvement of generative models, aware of metric issues, and more respectful of the expected musicality.

  • "From the Crude Cacophony of Inferno to the Celestial Music of the Spheres
    "From the crude cacophony of Inferno to the celestial music of the spheres in Paradise, music abounds in The Divine Comedy." MUSIC AS MIRROR Dante's Treatment of Music in the Divine Comedy KRI STI N A ASTE A TIME OF GREAT MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT, THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY IS THE PERFECT BACKDROP FOR THE AUDITORY ALLUSIONS OF DANTE ALIGHIERl's DIVINE COMEDY. THIS ARTICLE ARGUES THAT DANTE UTILIZES MUSICAL IMAGERY AS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF HIS ALLEGORY. INFLUENCED BY BOTH CHRISTIAN THINKERS AND PHILOSOPHERS, DANTE LIKELY VIEWED SCHOLASTIC MUSIC AS AN ADJUNCT OF RELIGION. IN THE DIVINE COMEDY, THEREFORE, DANTE PRESENTS AUDITORY ALLUSIONS AS AN INEXTRICABLE FACTOR OF THE PROTAGONIST'S EPIC PI LGRIMAGE THROUGH HELL, PU RG ATORY, AND HEAVEN. THROUGH A PROGRESSION OF ANTI-MUSIC IN INFERNO TO HUMAN CONTEXT IN PURGATORY TO THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES IN PARADISE, THIS ESSAY EXPLORES HOW THE MUSICAL LANGUAGE OF DANTE'S DIVINE COMEDY CONVEYS HUMANITY'S INNATE CONNECTION WITH GOD. From the crude cacophony of Inferno to the celestial music with the lukewarm in Inferno, the song of Casella in of the spheres in Paradise, music abounds in The Divine Purgatory, and the celestial music of the spheres in Comedy. The text contains one hundred and forty-six refer- Paradise. Each specific passage, especially seen in context ences to music: twenty-nine in Inferno, fifty-nine in of the Comedy's other musical references, illustrates Purgatory, and fifty-seven in Paradise. Rich in hymns and Dante's overall thematic thesis of humanity's relationship liturgical songs, including "Regina Coelis", "Gloria", with God.

  • Dante II Spring, 2018 Christian Moevs Tu Th 11:00-12:15; Debartolo 202
    ROIT 40116: Dante II Spring, 2018 Christian Moevs Tu Th 11:00-12:15; DeBartolo 202 Description: Dante’s Comedy is one of the supreme masterpieces of Western literature. It is also a comprehensive synthesis of the Western cultural tradition up to its time (from antiquity to the late Middle Ages), a daring experiment in language, poetics and poetic technique, and a profound exploration of Christian spirituality. Dante I and Dante II (ROIT 40115 and 40116) are a close, discussion-based study over two semesters of the entire Comedy, in its cultural (historical, literary, political, philosophical) context. Dante I explores the works that precede the Comedy, and the Inferno. Dante II focuses on the Purgatorio and Paradiso, along with the Monarchia. These are separate courses and can be taken individually, or in either order, although they do form an integrated sequence. (ROIT 40114, Dante’s Divine Comedy, is a lecture-based introduction to the the entire poem emphasizing the Inferno, and can substitute for Dante I.) Goals: 1) Learn to read a great text closely, interpret it deeply, and write incisively about it. 2) Read attentively, and think deeply about, the Purgatorio and Paradiso, the latter two-thirds of Dante’s great Comedy. 3) Understand key elements of the Western cultural tradition the poem synthesizes, and of the vibrant historical-cultural-spiritual context that spawned the poem, and that it responds to. 4) Meditate on the spiritual, philosophical, moral, political, and existential issues raised by this most profound of literary texts, in relation to Catholic revelation, and to yourself. 5) Know yourself better: what, why, where, whence, you are.

There has always been something legendary about John Scott. When I met him, in the autumn of 1968, I had just been recruited to teach for one year at the University of Reading as an “Assistant” in the Department of Italian Studies, while John, a Senior Lecturer, had just returned from a year’s teaching in Earthly Paradise, aka California, and, during Gigi Meneghello’s sabbatical, he was serving as our Head of Department. With his French background, impeccable trilingualism and cultivated taste, John was not only our major Dante and Renaissance scholar, but also our arbiter elegantiae, the undisputed connoisseur of good cars, wines and French cuisine. This is why my admiration for him grew even greater when he introduced me with total equanimity to the Senior Common Room, where the Reading professors took their daily meals and at the same time atoned for their sins.
