Full textAbstract:
2009 - 2010The aim of the research is to investigate the consistency and meaning of the logical-dialectical processes emerging in the wider context of rhetorical means in the works of Giovanni Boccaccio. In these works, dialectical schemes sometimes take the more complex structure of quaestio disputata, that is used by the author for narrative, but also for his literary statement. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part examines the intellectual background of the author. In the cultural context of the late Middle Ages, the quaestio disputata has an important role; by using the disputatio form, a good number of medieval authors show how the disputatio leaves the narrow university milieu, and reaches the literary context. A possible reason for the reception of the quaestio disputata within the literary context can be identified in the rediscovery of the similarities of late medieval dialectic and rhetoric, since both are “sciences of the probable”, and therefore aim at persuading rather than at demonstrating. A second reason can be found in the dramatic nature of philosophical disputatio, a veritable tournament fought with the weapons of the mind. The second part of the paper studies Boccaccio's works, where scholastic language and mental processes are widely diffused, a phenomenon that can be explained by the intermingling of philosophical and literary models. Nevertheless, it should also be noticed that the disputatio adopted by Boccaccio is reinforced by his return to its scholastic sources. Those texts were not unknown to a writer who was in touch with the scholars of the court of King Roberto in Naples, studied canon law, read and loved Dante’s works and was acquainted with Aristotle, Boethius, the Platonic Tradition and Thomas Aquinas. The presence of scholastic language and techniques lead us to evaluate their narrative role in Boccaccio’s literary production, their nature of prospective tools allowing the game of viewpoints. Secondly, the work examines the meaning the dialectic quaestio has in Boccaccio’s writings, where sometimes a quaestio opposing two possible positions has the task of seeking the “truth”. Boccaccian use of disputatio hides a subtle literary strategy that both seems to give the reader the option of choice, and/or the author to take his position and direct the reading. The third part of the thesis focuses on the late works of Boccaccio, such as the Genealogie deorum gentilium. Now the interest of the writer moves to the philosophy and erudition, but in these books we still find the model of quaestio disputata, in a simplified form of the responsio ad obiectiones. Seen as a whole, Boccaccio’s production uses with continuity the scholastic method; the author considers the disputatio a powerful instrument of the search after truth, but adapts it, both in theory and in practice, to the needs of the literature.

Dopo la pubblicazione di un'edizione provvisoria del Filostrato di Giovanni
Boccaccio (1313-1375) per cura di Vincenzo Pernicone (Bari 1937), che la accompagnò con
un articolo in rivista contenente le linee generali della ricostruzione stemmatica («Studi di
Filologia Italiana», V, 1938), lo studio della tradizione manoscritta del poema rimase
interrotta.
Rispetto ai 48 codici esaminati dal Pernicone, le testimonianze manoscritte del
Filostrato ad oggi conosciute sono 80: a fronte di una tradizione così ampia, la tesi affronta lo
studio codicologico e testuale degli 11 testimoni databili al sec. XIV: Altona, Historische
Bibliothek des Christianeums, R. 71 (Al); Firenze, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, II. II. 36
(F); II. II. 37 (F1); II. II. 38 (F2); II. II. 90 (F4); Palatino 354 (F7); Panciatichiano 17 (F13);
Firenze, Biblioteca Riccardiana, 1111 (FR5); Firenze, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana,
Pluteo XLI 28 (L1); Roma, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale «Vittorio Emanuele II», Vittorio
Emanuele 63 (RN); Città del Vaticano, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Capponiano Latino
135 (Vc); e di due codici del sec. XV: Londra, British Library, Additional Mss. 21246 (Lo);
Monreale, Biblioteca Comunale, XXV. F. 9 (Mr).
Dopo una analisi dello stato della questione (Premessa), che rende conto anche degli
interventi critici seguiti agli studi del Pernicone, segue la descrizione delle 13 testimonianze
accertate (Capitolo I).
Viene quindi proposta un'analisi critica dell'edizione del Pernicone e dei suoi
fondamenti filologici, condotta anche alla luce degli elementi offerti dai manoscritti qui
esaminati (Capitolo II), alcuni dei quali ignoti al filologo novecentesco (Al, Lo, Mr e RN).
Le indicazioni che se ne ricavano evidenziano la debolezza della ricostruzione dell'editore, a
motivo di un approccio metodologico per alcuni aspetti non rigoroso e della lacunosità dei
dati presentati; il Pernicone si dimostra in diversi casi poco fedele alla ricostruzione
genealogica da lui stesso avanzata.
Si offre altresì una proposta di classificazione dei 13 testimoni collazionati (Capitolo
III): i codici Al, L1 e Vc compongono la famiglia a; F, F1, F2, F7, F13, FR5 e RN, pur con
qualche difficoltà, sono inquadrabili in un unico gruppo p; indipendenti tra loro e rispetto alle
due famiglie precedentemente indicate rimangono i codici F4, Lo e Mr. Il controllo delle
testimonianze ha portato all'individuazione di un gruppo di errori ad esse comuni: di qui
l'ipotesi che i 13 codici esaminati abbiano a monte un capostipite comune.
Nei limiti della tradizione accertata, vengono infine avanzate alcune considerazioni
conclusive sulle varianti attestate nei piani alti dello stemma {Conclusioni).
La tesi è accompagnata da due tavole: la prima riproduce lo stemma codicum del
Pernicone, l'altra indica i rapporti genealogici ricostruiti entro la tradizione esaminata.
After the provisional edition of Giovanni Boccaccio's Filostrato edited by Vincenzo
Pernicone (Bari 1937), who wrote also an article with general indications about the tradition
of the poem («Studi di Filologia Italiana», V, 1938), the studies on the manuscript tradition of
the poem were interrupted.
In comparison with the 48 mss. examined by Pernicone, 80 mss. are known today: as
the tradition is so large, the thesis carries out a codicological and textual research into 11 mss.
datable to XIVth Century: Altona, Historische Bibliothek des Christianeums, R. 71 (Al);
Florence, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, II. II. 36 (F); II. II. 37 (Fl); II. II. 38 (F2); II. II. 90
(F4); Palatino 354 (F7); Panciatichiano 17 (F13); Florence, Biblioteca Riccardiana, 1111
(FR5); Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Pluteo XLI 28 (L1); Rome, Biblioteca
Nazionale Centrale «Vittorio Emanuele II», Vittorio Emanuele 63 (RN); Citta del Vaticano,
Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Capponiano Latino 135 (Vc); and into two mss of the XVth
Century: London, British Library, Additional Mss. 21246 (Lo); Monreale, Biblioteca
Comunale, XXV. F. 9 (Mr).
An introductory survey of the question (Premessa), which points out the critical essays about
Pernicone's studies, is followed by the description of the 13 mss. examined (Chapter I).
It follows a critical analysis of the edition by Pernicone and its philological basis, carried out
also in the light of the elements offered by the mss. examined (Chapter II), some of which
unknown by the editor (Al, Lo, Mr e RN): the survey points out the weakness of Pernicone's
reconstruction, because of a methodological approach not to be completely accepted and of an
incompleteness of the elements offered; Pernicone himself is sometimes not faithful to his
genealogical reconstruction.
A proposal to classify the 13 mss. examined is given (Chapter III): Al, L1 e Vc are to be
included in the group a; F, Fl, F2, F7, F13, FR5 and RN, even though with some problems,
are to be included in the group P; F4, Lo e Mr are not related each one with the other two and
with the two groups mentioned above. The exam of the mss. points out a group of mistakes
which is common to each of them: so that it is to be supposed that there should be a common
ancestor.
Keeping within the examined tradition, there are some final remarks on the variants that are
present in the high levels of the stemma (Conclusioni).

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation I examine the narrative parts of the so-called cornice of the Decameron. The core of my interpretation is to be found in Chapter I where I show that the frame story--the novella portante, as it has been called--with its "parabolic" rather than "rectilinear" progression is intended to illustrate the brigade's pursuit of pleasure, without any ulterior motive such as, for instance, the restructuring of the decaying Florentine society. A careful study of the members of the brigade (Chapter II) and of their songs (Chapter III) obviously forms an integral part of any analysis of the frame story. The Appendix deals with the illustrations of the cornice: the rich iconographic tradition of the Decameron, at least before this century, appears to have accorded more significance to the frame story than has literary criticism.

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo principal a tradução e o estudo da Charakteristik, caracterização, escrita por Friedrich Schlegel sobre Giovanni Boccaccio, chamada Nachricht von den poetischen Werken des Johannes Boccaccio, Relato sobre as obras poéticas de Giovanni Boccaccio, de 1801, bem como o estabelecimento de sua importância para a teoria da forma narrativa breve denominada Novelle. O estudo preliminar que antecede o trabalho é dividido em duas partes, nas quais buscamos entender a importância da teoria crítica de Friedrich Schlegel, iluminar as peculiaridades da caracterização traduzida, e descrever os principais procedimentos do crítico e filósofo alemão. No estudo também procuramos analisar as teorias sobre a novela do período conhecido como primeiro romantismo alemão, tentando definir a contribuição de Friedrich Schlegel para estas teorias, e esclarecer certos aspectos de sua recepção por parte da crítica literária ocidental. A principal hipótese que formulamos é a de que a caracterização de Schlegel é um exemplo de hermenêutica literária capaz de mesclar a análise filosófica, filológica e poética em uma abordagem histórica. Desta forma, os elementos extrínsecos e intrínsecos da obra literária seriam vistos como um todo orgânico. Esta obra de arte crítica, como Schlegel costumava definir sua Charakteristik, representaria tanto o sensus spiritualis, como o sensus literalis, contemplando, em sua letra e em seu espírito, a tendência [Tendenz] da obra, que seria o resultado da análise crítica progressiva, divinatória e universal do fenômeno literário.The main purpose of this dissertation is the translation and study of the Charakteristik characterization, written by Friedrich Schlegel about Giovanni Boccaccio, called Nachricht von den poetischen Werken des Johannes Boccaccio, Note on the poetic works of Giovanni Boccaccio, from 1801, as well as to establish its importance for the theory of the short prose narrative called Novelle. The preliminary study prior to the translation has been separated in two parts, in which we aim at understanding the importance of Friedrich Schlegels critical theory, highlight the peculiarities of the translated characterization, and describe the main procedures of the German critic. At the study we also seek to analyze the theories about the novelle from the period known as the early German romanticism, trying to define the contribution of Friedrich Schlegel for these theories, and clarify certain aspects of his reception by the Western literary criticism. The main hypothesis we formulate is that Schlegels characterization is an example of literary hermeneutics, capable of mixing a philosophical, philological and poetic analyze within a historical approach. This way, the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the literary artwork would be seen as an organic whole. This critical artwork, as Schlegel used to define his Charakteristik, would stand for the sensus spiritualis as well as for the sensus literalis, contemplating, in its letter and spirit, the tendency [Tendenz] of the work, which would be the result of a progressive, divinatory and universal critical analyze of literary phenomenon.

Um dos temas de destaque na obra-prima de Giovanni Boccaccio, o Decameron, escrita por volta de 1353, é o amor sensual, vivenciado por seus personagens de forma realista e naturalista. Dentre esses personagens, encontramos membros do clero católico, celibatários, e é para eles que voltamos o nosso olhar. Pretendemos traçar as características da abordagem de Boccaccio ao tema do amor sensual no celibato clerical em dez novelle da obra e, com isso, levantar quais concepções de amor, indivíduo e natureza humana são encontradas nas entrelinhas dessas histórias. Para analisarmos o corpus, tomaremos como base a fundamentação do celibato na Igreja Católica, exposta por Brown (1990); a doutrina do amor em Boccaccio, que trata o amor sensual com realismo e naturalismo, abordada por Scaglione (1963) e Givens (1968); a retórica de Aristóteles (2006), já que os personagens usam a retórica para obter êxito na conquista amorosa; as considerações de Ó Cuilleanáin (1984) e Smarr (2014) sobre a representação decameroniana do clero; além de estudos sobre o autor e obra, como os de Auerbach (2007; 2013). Com base em Berger (1972) e Nodelman (1988), analisaremos ilustrações que representam o amor sensual praticado por personagens celibatários, feitas por Alex Cerveny. No Decameron, os clérigos são dessacralizados, retratados como homens comuns, nos quais a natureza e o instinto se fazem presentes. A nosso ver, esses homens e mulheres são levados pela instituição católica a abandonarem obrigatoriamente a sexualidade, mas eles não desejam renunciar efetivamente a esse aspecto que é inerente à vida humana.
One of the main themes in the masterpiece of Giovanni Boccaccio, the Decameron, written around 1353, is the sensual love, experienced by its characters in a realistic and naturalistic way. Among those characters, we find members of the Catholic clergy who are celibates, and who are the holders of our attention. We intend to describe the characteristics of Boccaccio’s treatment of the sensual love theme in clerical celibacy in ten novelle from the book and present which conceptions of love, individual and human nature are found in those stories. To analyse the corpus, we will consider the foundation of celibacy in the Catholic Church, exposed by Brown (1990); the doctrine of love in Boccaccio, that treats sensual love with realism and naturalism, approached by Scaglione (1963) and Givens (1968); the Aristotle’s rhetorics (2006), since the characters use rhetorics to succeed in loving conquest; the considerations of Ó Cuilleanáin (1984) and Smarr (2014) on the decameronian representation of the clergy; besides studies about the author and book, such as the ones by Auerbach (2007; 2013). Based on Berger (1972) and Nodelman (1988), we will analyse some illustrations which depict the sensual love experienced by celibate characters, drawn by Alex Cerveny. In the Decameron, clerics are unholy, portrayed as ordinary men, in whom nature and instinct are latent. In our view, these men and women must give up sexuality because of the Catholic Church doctrines, but they do not actually want to abdicate this aspect which is inherent to human life.

Resumo: Pretendemos, neste trabalho, verificar, no plano ético, a alusão presente em o Decameron, de Giovanni Boccaccio, ao epicurismo. Para isso, apresentamos a filosofia epicurista, especialmente o conceito de prazer e de clinâmen, para estabelecermos as bases necessárias de comparação. Observamos também a história da fortuna crítica de o Decameron, para entendermos o porquê de só recentemente haver um estudo aprofundado da moral do livro, feito por Marco Veglia, em seu La vita lieta. Em seguida, fazemos uma leitura da moldura narrativa do Decameron para demonstrarmos a alusão ao epicurismo, e, por fim, tentamos compreender que efeito isso traria para a releitura dessa obra de Boccaccio
Abstract: The purpose of this work is to present the Decameron through a philosophical perspective, by comparing the Epicurean philosophy and the narrative frame of the text. To achieve this, we present the Epicurean philosophy, especially the concept of pleasure and clinamen, to establish the necessary bases of comparison. We also take into consideration the history of literary criticism of the Decameron, to understand the reason why only recently there is an in-depth study of the book¿s moral, made by Marco Veglia, in his "La vita lieta". Then, we intend to do a reading of the Decameron narrative frame to demonstrate the allusion to Epicureanism, and finally, we try to understand what effect this would bring to the reading of this work of Boccaccio

Resumo: Nossa pesquisa apresenta uma tradução parcial do De Claris Mulieribus, catálogo de biografias femininas escrito por Giovanni Boccaccio entre 1361-1362. A tradução, que é a primeira da obra no Brasil, compreende Dedicatória, Proêmio e as 40 primeiras biografias constantes da obra, e é acompanhada de um estudo introdutório, composto por três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo visa oferecer breves dados a respeito da formação do autor certaldense e do ambiente cultural de seus leitores coevos - com destaque à sua relação com a literatura greco-romana, bem como um panorama de sua produção, tanto vernácula quanto latina. No segundo capítulo, por sua vez, buscamos localizar a obra em apreço dentre as produções latinas boccaccianas, e discorrer sobre sua estrutura e composição. Por fim, no Capítulo III, guiando-nos por metodologia intertextual, dedicamo-nos brevemente à relação do texto da obra De Claris com outros textos. Nesse âmbito, como amostra da riqueza de sentidos, uma análise de biografias boccaccianas (Tisbe XIII, e Medeia XVII) será elaborada a partir de sua relação com excertos de Ovídio
Abstract: Our research presents a partial translation of De Claris Mulieribus, a collection of female biographies written by Giovanni Boccaccio between 1361-1362. The present translation, which is the very first one of its kind in Brazil, comprises Dedication, Preface and the first 40 biographies contained in his work, and it is followed by an introductory study composed of three chapters. The first chapter aims to provide concise data regarding the formation of the Italian author from Certaldo and the cultural environment of his coeval readers, focusing on his relation with the Greco-Roman literature, as well as an overview of his production, both vernacular and Latin. In the second chapter, we intended to position the work in appreciation within Boccaccian's Latin productions, and also to consider its structure and composition. Finally, in Chapter III, guided by intertextual methodology, we had briefly dedicated ourselves to the relation of the text of De Claris work with other texts. In this scope, as an illustration of the richness of meanings, an analysis of the Boccaccio's biographies (Thisbe XIII and Medea XVII) will be elaborated from its relation with excerpts from Ovid

O presente trabalho faz uma análise do diálogo intersemiótico estabelecido entre a obra literária Il Decameron (1348-1353), de Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), e o filme homônimo, de Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975), tendo como principal objetivo elucidar a transcriação artística operada por Pasolini, sobretudo no que diz respeito às construções metalingüísticas presentes no texto literário, que são cinematograficamente retomadas pelo cineasta. No texto sincrético, a metalinguagem está intrinsecamente ligada à poeticidade, seguindo os pressupostos teóricos do próprio Pasolini, expostos em Empirismo Eretico (2000). Os conceitos presentes nesse livro, como o famoso cinema de poesia ou a linguagem da realidade, norteiam a nossa escolha de outros teóricos, os quais nos auxiliam na tarefa de comprovar que tanto Boccaccio quanto Pasolini realizam operações metalingüísticas, sendo que as molduras narrativas por eles criadas explicitam a auto-reflexão acerca do fazer artístico, funcionando, desse modo, como marcas autorais. Assim, as duas versões de Decameron não se comunicam apenas pelo tema, mas pelo modo como as narrativas são estruturadas, pois Pasolini constrói a sua obra por meio de soluções cinematográficas que remetem à construção do discurso realizada por Boccaccio
The present work does an analysis of the intersemiotic intercourse established between the literary work Il Decameron (1348-1353), of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), and the namesake movie, of Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975), regarding as the main objective to find out the artistic transcreation operated by Pasolini, above all, in what touches the metalinguistic constructions present in the literary text that are cinematographically retraced by the film maker. In the syncretic text, the metalanguage is intrinsically bound to the poetical, following Pasolini’s own theoretical conceptions exposed in Empirismo Eretico (2000). The concepts in this book, like the famous cinema of poetry or the language of reality, guide the selection of other theorists, who help in the quest to prove that both Boccaccio as well as Pasolini make metalinguistic operations, as the narrative frames created by him expound the introspection of the artistic labour, working, this way, as authorial marks. Thus, the Decameron’s two versions do not communicate only through the theme, but through the way their narratives are structured because Pasolini’s work is built hereby cinematographic solutions which allude to Boccaccio’s discourse construction

Full textAbstract:
Notre recherche porte sur la compréhension approfondie de la chronogenèse italienne et, en son sein, de l'expression du futur, selon les principes théoriques et méthodologiques guillaumiens. Notre étude comparative associe les approches diachronique et synchronique. Nous étudions l'évolution de l'expression du futur de l'ancien italien à l'italien contemporain écrits grâce à un 1er corpus construit à partir du texte original du Decamerone de G. Boccaccio, de sa traduction en italien contemporain proposée par A. Busi et de sa traduction en français par J. Bourciez. Nous comparons l'expression du futur dans trois romans graphiques rédigés en italien (par des auteurs originaires de Vénétie et de Sicile) et en français, à l'aide d'une 2e série de corpus extrapolée à partir des transcriptions de ces BD. Nous observons, d'une part, les différences entre le français et l'italien standards contemporains, d'autre part, les réalisations de l'italien standard selon l'influence des substrats régionaux. Grâce à un 3e corpus, nous étudions l'expression du futur en napolitain en comparant les textes de chansons napolitaines du XIXe au XXIe, avec leurs traductions en italien et français standards. Notre confrontation des diverses solutions pour le futur couvre d'Ouest en Est la Romania occidentale (français standard, italien régional de Vénétie), la position centrale qu'occupe l'italien standard issu du florentin littéraire, la Romania orientale (italien régional de Sicile, napolitain). Nous étudions la distribution des formes morphologiques du futur (synthétiques, analytiques), leurs emplois (temporels, modaux) ainsi que les solutions alternatives d'expression du futur (autres temps, CC de temps). Nous discutons les concepts d'aspect, d'accompli et d'inaccompli, de perfectif et d'imperfectif et étudions leur distribution dans les formes morphosyntaxiques de l'expression du futurOur research focuses on the deep understanding of the Italian chronogenesis, and within it, of the expression of future, based on the theoretical and methodological principles of G. Guillaume. Our comparative study combines diachronic and synchronic approaches. We study the evolution of the expression of future from former Italian to contemporary Italian literature through a first corpus built from the original text of the Decameron of G. Boccaccio, its contemporary translation proposed by A. Busi and its French translation by J. Bourciez. We compare the expression of future in three Italian (by authors from the Veneto and Sicily) and French graphic novels, with a second series of corpus extrapolated from the transcripts of these comics. We observe, on one hand, the differences between French and Italian contemporary standards, and on the other hand, the achievements of the Italian standard according to its substrates' regional influence. With a third corpus, we study the expression of future by comparing Neapolitan songs texts from the XIXth to the XXth century, with their translations in Italian and French. Our comparison of the various solutions for future covers, from West to East, the western Romania (standard French, Veneto regional Italian), and the central position of the Italian literary standard from Florentine, Eastern Romania (Sicilian regional Italian, Neapolitan). We study the distribution of future's morphological forms (synthetic, analytic), uses (temporal, modal) and alternative expression of future (other times, adverbial phrase of time). We discuss the concepts of aspect, accomplished and unaccomplished, perfective and imperfective and study their distribution in the morphosyntactic forms of future's expression

Full textAbstract:
This study maintains that although Gaspara Stampa's Rime (1554) appears to straddle two popular literary genres-lyric poetry and autobiography-analysis of the Rime within its cultural context demonstrates that while Stampa (1523-1553) used Petrarchan conventions, she also both borrowed and swerved from Giovanni Boccaccio's Elegy of Lady Fiammetta (1334-1337) to imagine a non-Petrarchan narrative of an abandoned woman. In the Renaissance, lyric poetry and autobiography were distinguished not only by their style-prose vs. verse-but, more importantly, by the treatment of their distinctive subject matter. Lyric poetry focused on those emotions involving love, whereas Renaissance autobiography shunned emotions. A comparative analysis of the Rime with the Elegy concludes that the Rime is not a lyric version of Boccaccio's Elegy; however, a consideration of Harold Bloom's "anxiety of influence" demonstrates that although Stampa borrowed the Boccaccian idea of the woman as narrator to tell the story of love and abandonment, she creatively adapted-or, to use Bloom's term, swerved from-Boccaccio's presentation of the abandoned narrator's psychological pain. Instead, Stampa depicts the frustrations and the pain of the narrator whose love is unrequited although her beloved remains nearby.

L’indagine di questa tesi, incentrata sulla fortuna del Decameron di Giovanni Boccaccio nella cultura araba, verte, in primo luogo, sull’individuazione delle vie di accesso al testo boccacciano e sulle circostanze che permisero alle cento novelle di entrare a far parte a pieno titolo, pur in tempi tutt’altro che rapidi (nel XX secolo), del mondo letterario arabo. La ricerca è focalizzata, principalmente, sul reperimento e sull’analisi delle traduzioni arabe dell’opera e sullo studio dei contesti culturali in cui si attivarono, soprattutto, i primi traduttori di Boccaccio in zona araba: scrittori di alto profilo culturale e veri partecipi alla rinascita della cultura araba nel Novecento.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation focuses on Giovanni Boccaccio’s questioni d’amore, a text that, despite its immense richness, has been overlooked within the field of Boccaccio studies. It has been the subject of surprisingly little scholarship, and the sparse work that has been done on them has relegated them to tight and unimaginative spaces. This project, which seeks to fill this critical lacuna, is innovative in three respects: it is the first study to consider all thirteen questioni individually; it offers a new, essential translation of the questioni; and it is the only analysis to date that considers the questioni through a historicizing lens. To this end, I conduct a detailed analysis of the questioni that is contextualized by social history and supplemented with relevant literary intertexts. This study ultimately demonstrates the considerable social, legal, and literary significance of the questioni d’amore and provides new perspectives on Boccaccio’s authorial trajectory and intellectual interests.

Failla, Scott Antonio. "Travestimento/Travestitismo: Masquerade and Mischief in Boccaccio's World." Thesis, 2015. https://doi.org/10.7916/D83F4NV1.
Full textAbstract:
Travestimento/travestitismo: Masquerade and Mischief in Boccaccio’s World examines Boccaccio’s use of masquerade to parody social conventions and invert the cultural themes characterizing fourteenth-century Italy. Its aim is to demonstrate the myriad ways in which the medieval author masks and unmasks characters—often using gender as performance—to gain access to either sublimated sexuality or forbidden power, and ultimately to reveal rather than conceal human nature. This study offers a close reading of the Ninfale fiesolano and five novellas (2.3, 2.9, 3.1, 3.2, and 4.2) of the Decameron, focusing on characters that go beyond their usual identity and/or the limits of their biological sex to occupy transgendered spaces.
Today, our understanding of gender studies encompasses a far more inclusive understanding of the term “gender.” This dissertation begins with the concept that gender is fluid and performative, and that though the body may be fixed, its gender is not confined to restrictions imposed on it by society. Some of Boccaccio’s characters, accordingly, occupy multiple gendered spaces while assuming the identity of another sex, in particular Zinevra/Sicurano, the abbot/princess, and Africo (Chapters Two, Three, and Four). Although far from the transformations found in the mythological world of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Boccaccio’s tales offer the “metamorphosis” of the masquerade, that is, a false outward show, a pretense, or façade that oftentimes is achieved through disguise or costume. My analysis considers how masquerade in this way (travestimento) — or in its more radical form of cross-dressing (travestitismo) — paradoxically offers access to the more authentic aims of the protagonists.
Although critics have written on deception in the Decameron, they have not dealt thoroughly with the trope of masquerade and have altogether ignored the concept of transvestism. Travestimento/travestitismo: Masquerade and Mischief in Boccaccio’s World advances our understanding of gender and identity in Boccaccio’s work to show that his ideas may help us understand not only the Middle Ages, but also our own epoch.

Delmolino, Grace. "Boccaccio’s Legal Mind: Debt, Consent, and Canon Law." Thesis, 2018. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8GF29W0.
Full textAbstract:
This study brings together the works of Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) and Gratian’s Decretum, the 12th-century textbook that became foundational to the teaching of medieval canon law. Boccaccio studied canon law for six years, and the Church’s legal system deals with many of the issues that interested Boccaccio: marriage, sexuality, adultery, consent, coercion, and gendered forms of violence. Boccaccio and Gratian each showed close attention to women’s interior perspectives and a marked emphasis on the importance of consent. This dissertation illuminates the intertextual connections between Boccaccio’s works and Gratian’s Decretum, and argues that Boccaccio understand the law much better than has previously been recognized. In fact, Boccaccio’s most perceptive insights on the nature of debt, obligation, and consent derive from legal sources.
The first chapter of this project introduces the figures of Boccaccio and Gratian. Boccaccio’s own works and a few surviving documents attest to his years of legal study in Naples as well as his lifelong engagement with the law, both in politics and his personal life. Little is known of Gratian’s biography, but his Decretum became a standard teaching tool in the curriculum of canon law. Boccaccio undoubtedly read the Decretum, and the following chapters show the extent to which its innovative cases and viewpoints influenced him.
Chapter 2 begins with the “conjugal debt,” the idea in canon law that spouses incur a mutual sexual obligation by virtue of being married. Boccaccio expands the concept of sexual debt to include metaphorical usury and theft, drawing on medieval economic theory and offering an economic model of human relationships. Though Boccaccio’s view is transactional, it does not reduce human beings to commodities; rather, the economic system expresses relationships of trust and obligation. Chapter 3 extends the legal-economic discourse to several stories in the Decameron that deal with adulterous relationships, demonstrating that Boccaccio’s idiosyncratic application of legal theories is nevertheless solidly grounded in his reading of canon law.
Chapter 4 focuses on Boccaccio’s treatment of consent in matters of marriage and legislation. Relying heavily on Gratian’s treatment of error and mistaken identity, as well as the legal principle of quod omnes tangit, Boccaccio argues for women’s right to offer informed consent to decisions that concern them. Chapter 5 continues the discussion of consent in the context of sexual violence, exploring the idea of vis (force) in Gratian’s Decretum as well as Boccaccio’s Decameron and Ninfale fiesolano. Canon law emphasizes women’s right to consent to marriage; Boccaccio extends this principle to matters of sex and violence, recuperating the power of women’s consent in an area where medieval law often faltered.

Dissertação de mestrado em Estudos Anglo-Americanos, apresentada à Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de CoimbraA presente dissertação tem por objectivo estudar a construção de narrativas sobre uma epidemia (real ou imaginária) na literatura ocidental. Será feita uma análise literária que faça sobressair o papel da peste numa obra, em detrimento de uma preocupação com a veracidade dos factos. Procura-se estudar de que diferentes formas a narrativa de uma peste demonstra uma desordem social na qual o irracional (o Mythos) triunfa sobre o racional (O Logos). De igual modo se explora a forma como diferentes narrativas constroem ou não um Pathos destinado a comover o leitor. No texto mais antigo, A História da Guerra do Peloponeso de Tucídides, vemos a desordem social manifesta na incapacidade de manter o funcionamento das estruturas sociais durante a peste de Atenas ao mesmo tempo que se estuda uma relação da epidemia com o Pathos da guerra. No Decameron de Boccaccio, estuda-se a ligação com o Pathos do amor e a possível existência de uma catarse que leva a um novo estado na vida das personagens e a dizer-se que a vitória do Mythos sobre o Logos é temporária. Já em A Journal of the Plague Year a vitória do Mythos sobre o Logos nunca é absoluta e o Pathos, a existir, é o Pathos da cidade. Conclui-se vendo como em obras como La Peste de Camus o uso da epidemia se assume como metafórico, neste caso de um Pathos da condição humana. Após o que se demonstra que ao longo das três principais obras vamos assistindo a uma diminuição da intensidade do Pathos: em Tucídides um Pathos que continua por longos anos devido à guerra, mesmo após o fim da peste; em Boccaccio um Pathos momentâneo que é motivo para uma reconstrução; em Defoe um Pathos que nunca é absoluto e cujo objectivo é mais o de prevenir os seus contemporâneos.
The purpose of this dissertation is to study the construction of narratives on epidemics (real and imaginary ones) in western literature. There will be a literary analysis that takes in account the role of the plague in a work, rather than the veracity of the facts. I will study the different ways in which the narrative of a pest shows a social disorder in which the irrational (Mythos) triumphs over the rational (Logos). It will also be explored the different ways a narrative may or not build a Pathos designed to move the reader. In the older text, A History of the Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides, we will see the social disorder shown in the inability to maintain social structures during the plague of Athens, at the same time that we study the relationship between the plague and the Pathos of war. In Boccaccio's Decameron, we study the connection with the Pathos of love and the possible existence of a catharsis that leads to a new state in the lives of the characters and makes it possible to say that the victory of the Mythos over the Logos is temporary. On the other hand, in A Journal of the Plague Year, the victory of Mythos over Logos is never absolute, and the Pathos, if any, is the Pathos of the city. We conclude studying how, in works such as Camus’ La Peste, the use of plague is assumed to be a metaphor, in this case for Pathos of the human condition. After which is shown that along the three main works we witnessed a decrease in the intensity Pathos: Pathos in Thucydides is one that continues for many years due to war, even after the end of the plague, in Boccaccio a momentary Pathos is a motive for reconstruction; in Defoe, Pathos is never absolute and is aimed more to prevent his contemporaries.

(in English) The key theme of my thesis are venetian influences on the Boccaccio Boccaccino's work, who was one of the most important exponents of the Cremonese school of painters. Initially he worked in Genoa, Cremona and Milan and he was influenced by the painters as Leonardo, Bramantino and Boltraffio. In the years 1497-1500 Boccaccino is documented in Ferrara. In this period he executed so-called tondo Gronau, The Christ on the way to Calvary, The Virgin and Child, now in Boston, The Virgin and Child, now in Padua, The Adoration of the Shepherds, now in Naples and Dead Christ supported by an Angel. This works show the influence of Bramantino, umbrian school but also early influence of venetian art. In 1500 or 1501 he painted the altarpiece with Virgin and Child with Sts Peter, Michael, John the Baptist and John the Evangelist for the church of S. Giuliano in Venice. Models of this composition are the S. Cassiano altarpiece of Antonello da Messina and Virgin and Child with Saints which Giovanni Bellini executed for the church of S. Giobbe. Boccaccino's image in S.Giuliano is also inspired by Ercole de'Roberti and Lorenzo Costa. His colours show the influence of Giorgione. In 1506 is Boccaccino documented in Venice but also in Cremona. In the years 1500-1506 he stayed probably in Venice, but he...

La ricerca illustra luoghi di memoria poetica delle due prime opere ottave di Boccaccio nell’Orlando furioso, individuati muovendo dai rilievi presenti nelle Fonti dell’«Orlando furioso» di Pio Rajna, nei commenti al poema e nella letteratura critica, e attraverso un raffronto testuale compiuto anche con l’ausilio di strumenti informatici. La memoria del Filostrato e del Teseida nel tessuto del poema ariostesco, puntuale e pervasiva, investe le zone connotative del genere letterario (il proemio, il congedo), le trame principali (l’amore passionale e la follia di Orlando, l’attesa elegiaca e la gelosia di Bradamante) e numerosi altri luoghi (i più rilevanti: la selva romanzesca del primo canto, la permanenza di Ruggiero presso Alcina, l’episodio delle «femine omicide», l’incontro notturno di Doralice e Mandricardo, il duello tra Ruggiero e Rodomonte che chiude il poema); il Filostrato e il Teseida offrivano inoltre ad Ariosto il modello di un narratore personaggio ed amante che delinea una chiara corrispondenza tra la propria sofferta esperienza d’amore e quella del suo protagonista, da cui discende una competenza in materia erotica espressa attraverso interventi gnomici e precettistici che interrompono la narrazione in luoghi decisivi. La consonanza tra le voci narranti, verificabile su un piano contestualmente tematico e strutturale, conferma ed evidenzia comuni sistemi di senso e pervasive affinità ideologiche tra le opere, già chiaramente rivelate dalle intersezioni tra il tessuto narrativo boccacciano e la fabula ariostesca: l’irrazionalità totalizzante dell’esperienza erotica, innanzitutto; l’inconsistenza dei giudizi umani; la difficoltà nel rapporto tra i sessi; l’opportunità (in amore) di una conoscenza relativa. Da un canto, Boccaccio si rivela imprescindibile auctoritas erotica nella costruzione del poema; dall’altro, i paralleli testuali conferiscono una definitiva evidenza alla funzione modellizzante esercitata dalle opere in ottave di Boccaccio sul successivo percorso del poema cavalleresco rinascimentale, un dato acquisito dalla storiografia letteraria fin dal XVI secolo, ma poi non indagato nelle sue effettive connessioni testuali.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines representations of legal, theological, and medical modes of case thinking and case narration in the novella collections of four early modern authors: Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549), Matteo Bandello (c.1485-1562), and Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616). It further investigates how these collections perform and problematize practices of narrating and interpreting cases while framing such practices within the context of the navigation of daily news. Indeed, keen observers of the capacity of informal and formal networks to circulate information and opinions in unpredictable ways and on scales unprecedented, these authors also used the novella genre—and the polysemy of the term “novella”—to intervene in contemporary debates on the value of novelty and on the merits of popularizing expert knowledge. I argue that the early modern novella’s role as a literary mediator between professional forms of the case and popular forms of the news report was instrumental to its durable transnational European success. Over the course of this dissertation, I show how these collections depict the art of storytelling qua case narration as an essential ethical component of professional casuistries and of everyday information exchanges. I draw attention to specific professional inflections of the case-novella-news nexus, in order to highlight how each author conceives—and makes the case for—the indispensability of storytelling to spiritual and civic life. I demonstrate that a juridical approach to cases and novelty takes precedence in Boccaccio’s Decameron. I show that, in contrast, Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron relies on distinctly theological conceptions of cases and news. I proceed to compare the type of moral casuistry found in the Heptaméron to that found in Matteo Bandello’s Novelle. Finally, I investigate the consequences of Cervantes’ predilection for a medical approach to case analysis, novelty, and news in his Novelas ejemplares. The broader ambition of this investigation is twofold: first, to contribute a literary and historical perspective to contemporary methodological debates on the value of case thinking in the human sciences and in the liberal professions, and second, to pave the way for an exploration of the casuistical foundations of modern journalism at a time when its epistemological and ethical priorities are sorely in need of being reassessed.
