Duecento and Trecento Ii* (Excluding Dante) Italian Studies DUECENTO AND TRECENTO II* (EXCLUDING DANTE) BY] ON A THAN USHER, Lecturer in Italian in the University ofEdinburgh I. GENERAL Apart from the usual crop ofFestschrifts, retrospective collections of essays and reprintings, two trends seem worthy of interest: a growing realization that religious works hold vast promise for the literary historian, and a willingness to approach the linguistic realities of the period in fresh ways. Branca's Festschrift of monumental proportions (only exceeded by the bulk of his own contributions over the years), Miscellanea di studi in onore di Vittore Branca, F, Olschki, came out too late in the year to be seen by me, but vol. I, Dal medioevo al Petrarca, xii + 492 pp., is likely to have attracted some solid contributors. Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio: Studies in the Italian 'Trecento' in Honor of Charles S. Singleton, ed. by A. S. Bernardo and L. Pellegrini, Binghamton, State Univ. ofN.York, contains a heartfelt essay by G. Petrocchi, 'Metodi di lettura degli scritti ascetici trecenteschi', pp. 354-66, which argues that such mystical/ascetic literature is a fertile field for present-day researchers to deepen the relationship which brings together experi­ ence and its expression, and the motions of the spirit and their language. Pietro Boitani (ed.), Chaucer and the Italian Trecento, CUP, xii+3I3pp., includes an elegant essay on 'Chaucer's Italy', pp. 8g-I I 3, though readers less centred on Chaucer and more interested in the Trecento might do as well to go straight to John Larner, Italy in the Age of Dante and Petrarch, London, I98o; ib. E. Giaccherini, 'Chaucer and the Italian Trecento: a Bibliography', pp. 297-304, a useful survey; see also pp. 47I below. Another Chaucerian scholar with Italian interests, Derek Brewer, has contri­ buted an introduction 'Medieval European Literature' to Ford, Medieval Lit., pp. 4I-84, which includes a brief treatment of the early development of Italian literature. O'Donoghue, The Courtly Love Tradition, contains a section on the Stilnovisti, pp. 258-g8, with texts and translations and a rather uninformative introduction. N. Sapegno's classic Trecento has been republished in a revised edition, Mi, Vallardi, I982, 626pp., the revision being the work of * Mr Usher joined the Year's Work team comparatively recently and is in no way responsible for the fact that this section failed to appear in volumes 43 and 44· Users of the work will be grateful to him for having succeeded nevertheless in covering a considerable number of items published in Ig8I and rg82. [G.P.] Italian Studies A. Balduino. Other examples of rebirth are the collections of already published articles by G. Martellotti, Dante e Boccaccio e altri scrittori dall'Umanesimo al Rinascimento, F, Olschki, 504 pp., and G. Nencioni, Tra grammatica e retorica. Da Dante a Pirandello, Turin, Einaudi, viii+ 305 pp. R. Russell, Generi poetici medioevali, Naples, Napoletana, I982 (I983), 209pp., has the virtue of containing a modest leaven of novelties: 'Senso, nonsenso e controsenso nella frottola', pp. I 4 7-6 I, reviewsjrottole under four headings: gnomic, political, autobiographi­ cal, and descriptive, and perceives that the commonly-held view that .frottole are disjointed and lack logical sequence is mistaken. B. Guthmiiller, Ovidio Metamorphoseos Vulgare. Formen und Funktionen der volkssprachlichen Wiedergabe klassischer Dichtung in der italienischen Renaiss­ ance, Boppard a. Rhein, Boldt, I98I, 3 I 2 pp., despite its title, gives a useful review ofOvidian presences in Brunetto, Guittone, Stilnovisti, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Guido da Pisa. K. Krautter, Die Renaissance der Bukolik in.der lateinischen Literatur des XIV. Jahrhunderts: von Dante bis Petrarca, Munich, Fink, deals with the links between Giovanni del Virgilio and Dante, Mussato and Petrarch, and also between Boccaccio and Checco di Meletto: the approach tends towards the semiotic, and is particularly stimulating on Petrarch. Still on the survival of the classics, F. Ferrucci, 'Mito classico e mito cristiano nella letteratura italiana', YIS, 5: I 6o-9 I, deals in a fairly unoriginal way with Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio and their role as mediators between two cultures. An interesting insight into medieval culture is given by E. Esposito, 'Les formes d'hospitalite dans le roman courtois', Romania, I03, I982: I97-234, where the elaborate ritual of courtesy to Guests is traced back to the Regula ofSt Bernard: E.'s codification of gestures would be a useful guide for scholars of the cantari, romanzi and early prose fiction. On romance, see D. Delcorno Branca, 'Il cavaliere dalle armi incantate: circolazione di un modello narrativo arturiano', GSLI, I 59, I982: 353-82, which scru­ pulously traces the fortune of the Lasancis episode through to Ariosto. On the recuperation of the characteristics of oral expression, D. Marcheschi, lngiurie, improperi, contumelie ecc. Saggio di lingua parlata del Trecento cavato dai libri criminali di Lucca per opera di Salvatore Bongi, Lucca, Pacini, the spirit of Vidocq! A similar methodology is employed, though in (superficially) more august circumstances in A. Varvaro, 'Dallo scritto al parlato: la predica di fra' Simone del Pozzo (I 392) ', MedRom, 8: 32 I -3 7. The evidence comes from a trial for 'fellonia'. Aids for approaching medieval texts are gradually becom­ ing more numerous. D' Arco Silvio A valle, Programma per un omofonario automatico della poesia italiana delle origini, F, Accademia della Crusca, I 98 I, is a preparatory study laying down some of the principles for the much-awaited Concordanze.

  • The Trecento Lute
    UC Irvine UC Irvine Previously Published Works Title The Trecento Lute Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1kh2f9kn Author Minamino, Hiroyuki Publication Date 2019 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Trecento Lute1 Hiroyuki Minamino ABSTRACT From the initial stage of its cultivation in Italy in the late thirteenth century, the lute was regarded as a noble instrument among various types of the trecento musical instruments, favored by both the upper-class amateurs and professional court giullari, participated in the ensemble of other bas instruments such as the fiddle or gittern, accompanied the singers, and provided music for the dancers. Indeed, its delicate sound was more suitable in the inner chambers of courts and the quiet gardens of bourgeois villas than in the uproarious battle fields and the busy streets of towns. KEYWORDS Lute, Trecento, Italy, Bas instrument, Giullari any studies on the origin of the lute begin with ancient Mesopota- mian, Egyptian, Greek, or Roman musical instruments that carry a fingerboard (either long or short) over which various numbers M 2 of strings stretch. The Arabic ud, first widely introduced into Europe by the Moors during their conquest of Spain in the eighth century, has been suggest- ed to be the direct ancestor of the lute. If this is the case, not much is known about when, where, and how the European lute evolved from the ud. The presence of Arabs in the Iberian Peninsula and their cultivation of musical instruments during the middle ages suggest that a variety of instruments were made by Arab craftsmen in Spain.

  • Tema 7. La Pintura Italiana De Los Siglos Xiii Y Xiv: El Trecento Y Sus Principales Escuelas
    TEMA 7. LA PINTURA ITALIANA DE LOS SIGLOS XIII Y XIV: EL TRECENTO Y SUS PRINCIPALES ESCUELAS 1. La pintura italiana del Duecento: la influencia bizantina Con el siglo XIII, tiene lugar la aparición de un nuevo espíritu religioso que supone un cambio trascendental en el pensamiento europeo y se produce de la mano de las órdenes religiosas mendicantes: franciscanos y dominicos. Su labor marca la renovación del pensamiento gótico dando lugar a una religiosidad basada en el acercamiento al hombre como camino hacia Dios. Ambas órdenes se instalan en las ciudades para predicar a un mayor número de fieles y luchar contra la herejía, poniendo en práctica las virtudes de la pobreza y la penitencia. Se generarán toda una serie de obras arquitectónicas, escultóricas y pictóricas con una nueva y rica iconografía que tendrá una importante repercusión en toda Europa a lo largo del siglo XIV. La Maiestas Domini, va a ser sustituidas progresivamente por la Maiestas Sanctorum, es decir, por la narración de las vidas de los santos, que ocupan la decoración de las capillas privadas en los templos. Del mismo modo, la Virgen deja de ser trono de Dios para convertirse en Madre y por tanto en la intermediaria entre Dios y los hombres. En esta tendencia a humanizar a los personajes sagrados aparece la imagen del Cristo doloroso, en la que el sufrimiento de Jesús alcanza un expresionismo impensable en el románico. No podemos dejar de referirnos al nacimiento de la Escolástica, que surge de forma paralela pero muy relacionada con estas órdenes mendicantes, con la creación de las universidades y la traducción de obras aristotélicas realizadas a partir del siglo XII.

  • Humanism and Education in Medieval and Renaissance
    Cambridge University Press 0521401925 - Humanism and Education in Medieval and Renaissance Italy: Tradition and Innovation in Latin Schools from the Twelfth to the Fifteenth Century - Robert Black Frontmatter More information HUMANISM AND EDUCATION IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE ITALY This is the first comprehensive study of the school curriculum in medieval and Renaissance Italy. Robert Black’s analysis finds that the real innovators in the history of Latin education in Italy were the thirteenth-century schoolmasters who introducedanew methodof teaching grammar basedon logic, andtheir early fourteenth- century successors, who first began to rely on the vernacular as a tool to teach Latin grammar. Thereafter, in the later fourteenth andfor most of the fifteenth century, conservatism, not innovation, charac- terizedthe earlier stages of education. The studyof classical texts in medieval Italian schools reached a highpoint in the twelfth century but then collapsedas universities rose in importance duringthe thir- teenth century, a sharp decline only gradually reversed in the two centuries that followed. Robert Black demonstrates that the famous humanist educators did not introduce the revolution in the class- room that is usually assumed, and that humanism did not make a significant impact on school teaching until the later fifteenth century. Humanism and Education is a major contribution to Renaissance studies, to Italian history and to the history of European education, the fruit of sustained manuscript research over many years. ’ publications include Benedetto Accolti and the Florentine Renaissance (), Romance and Aretine Humanism in Sienese Comedy (with Louise George Clubb, ), Studio e Scuola in Arezzo durante il medioevo e Rinascimento () and Boethius’s Consolation of Philosophy in Italian Medieval and Renaissance Education (with Gabriella Pomaro, ).

  • Vittoria Colonna and Language
    Chapter 5 Vittoria Colonna and Language Helena Sanson Vittoria Colonna’s life spans a crucial period in the history of the Italian lan- guage: by the time she was born, in 1490 or 1492, the printing press was pro- gressively spreading across the peninsula and so was the need for a more homogeneous literary language. In her childhood, the Aldine editions of Petrarch (1501) and Dante (1502) were edited by Pietro Bembo, an important moment of linguistic reflection and close study of Trecento Tuscan that con- tributed to its establishment as the accepted literary vernacular in the course of the century. When Colonna married, in 1509, Bembo was already working on his Prose della volgar lingua and a few years later, in 1516, Fortunio published his Regole, the first printed grammar of the Italian vernacular. The year her husband died, in 1525, the Prose came out in print. In 1538, when her Rime were printed against her will in Parma, Francesco Marcolini published in Venice the second edition of the Prose for an intended readership that was no longer made up only of scholars. The year of her death, 1547, also marks the death of Bembo. Against the background of her life and the rich literary and linguistic produc- tion of her time, this chapter aims to analyze the relationship between Vittoria Colonna—the woman and the poet—and language, taking into account the complex linguistic situation of the peninsula at the time and the lively debates of the Questione della lingua. The Linguistic Context During Colonna’s life, Italy was characterized by political and linguistic frag- mentation, a situation that was to remain unchanged until the second half of the nineteenth century and unification in 1861.

The unprecedented economic expansion in major Italian cities and concomitant spread of humanistic culture and philosophy gave rise to what has come to be called the Renaissance, a complex and multifaceted movement embracing a wide range of intellectual developments. This course will treat the artistic production of the Italian city-republics in the late Duecento, Trecento and early Quattrocento, with particular emphasis on panel and fresco painting in Siena, Florence, Rome and Venice. The Early Italian Renaissance will be considered within its historical, political and social context, beginning with the careers of Duccio di Buoninsegna and Giotto di Bondone, progressing through the generation of Gentile da Fabriano, Filippo Brunelleschi and Masaccio, and concluding with the era of Leon Battista Alberti and Piero della Francesca. INSTRUCTOR BIOGRAPHY Dr. Grossman earned his B.A. in Art History and English at the University of California- Berkeley, and his M.A., M.Phil. and Ph.D. in Art History at Columbia University. After seven years of residence in Tuscany, he completed his dissertation on the civic architecture, urbanism and iconography of the Sienese Republic in the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance.
