more
This volume explores the intricate art of interpreting dream symbols by tracing the evolution of oneirocritical traditions across Asia, the Middle East, and the Latin West. Spanning the classical, medieval, and modern periods, it reveals how diverse cultures have used dreambooks to translate imagined realities into personal insight. A collection of scholarly essays, this volume vividly portrays humanity’s enduring fascination with dreams as profound sources of knowledge—rooted in the past, experienced in the present, and foreshadowing the future. Also included is the “Conspectus of the Western Manuscripts and Early Printed Editions of the Somniale Danielis,” an essential reference for next generations of scholars.

This volume brings together a wide selection of research presented at the fifth triennial conference of the American Boccaccio Association, the first meeting of the Association on Italian soil (University of Padua, 2022). Organized into five sections, these essays cover the most salient aspects of Boccaccio’s production under examination by scholars across the globe. Boccaccio, i poeti, la poesia, the first section, investigates Boccaccio’s lyrics in broader poetic and cultural contexts. The second section, Decameroniana, reflects on the masterpiece of the Certaldese by revitalizing lines of inquiry and offering new perspectives. Boccaccio latino, the third section of this book, exhibits the area of research that has recently experienced the most fervent scholarly attention: Boccaccio’s Latin culture and his role in the development of early Humanism. Demonstrating Boccaccio’s constant relevance, the fourth section, Geografie della ricezione, explores the relationships between the author and different and distant historical and cultural contexts. This volume concludes with a section titled Digital Boccaccio that showcases the most recent and sophisticated technological research and tools for new exegetical research.

Les poèmes de Giorgio Bassani (1916-2000) n'accompagnent pas seulement ses romans. Ils en offrent la vérité, ou, comme il aimait à le dire lui-même : toute la vérité. En 1961, il écrivait à Michel Mohrt : "Je suis un écrivain lyrique" . Et il ne cessera de le répéter tout au long de sa carrière. C'est pourquoi, de même qu'il avait tenu en 1980 à offrir la version définitive du Roman de Ferrare en rassemblant dans une oeuvre unique ses grands livres de prose (Dans les murs ; Les Lunettes d'or ; Le Jardin des Finzi-Contini ; Derrière la porte ; Le Héron ; L'Odeur du foin), il reprenait deux ans plus tard en un seul volume l'ensemble d'une production poétique dont la composition avait comme enchâssé le Roman de Ferrare : sous le titre d'In rima e senza (Avec et sans rimes), il réunissait Storie dei poveri amanti (1945), Te lucis ante (1947), Un'altra libertà (1951), Epitaffio (1974) et In gran segreto (1978). A l'occasion de la publication en Italie de l'édition complète de ses poèmes et, en France, d'une nouvelle édition, revue et augmentée, d'une large sélection de textes poétiques en traduction française, un colloque consacré à "Giorgio Bassani poète" s'est tenu à Parisle 15 octobre 2021. Les interventions réunies dans ce volume des actes offrent des itinéraires de lecture dans un univers poétique marqué par une surprenante variété de registres : des tonalités plus lyriques des premiers recueils jusqu'aux vers en forme d'épitaphes des années 70, où l'invective la plus mordante alterne avec les notes, parfois amères, d'un mémorialisme désenchanté, teinté d'autodérision.

"The Medieval Dream Dictionary. The Somniale Danielis in Literary Manuscripts."
The Medieval Dream Dictionary is composed of entries coming from Latin and vernacular Italian versions of the Somniale Danielis – known as The Dreambook of Daniel the Prophet – which range from the ninth century to the first printed editions through 1550. This manual illustrates more than 3200 years of the history of dream interpretation from Ancient Egypt to today’s web pages. The Dictionary, which gathers this material for the first time, provides not only a better understanding of the medieval and Renaissance oneiric imaginary, but will also allow a practical introduction to the study of literary and artistic dream symbolism.
Il Dizionario dei sogni è formato da voci in latino e in volgare del Somniale Danielis, in italiano Il libro dei sogni del profeta Daniele, e rappresenta oltre 3200 anni di storia di interpretazione dei sogni dall’Antico Egitto, alla Smorfia Napoletana, alle pagine web di oggi. Questo materiale, così riunito per la prima volta, sarà utile non solo ad avere un quadro più dettagliato dell’immaginario onirico medievale che si tramanda nel Rinascimento, ma potrà anche essere utilizzato praticamente nello studio del simbolismo letterario e storico-artistico.

The essays in this volume offer a wide range of new perspectives on Boccaccio’s work, its historical time and place, and its legacy. These thirteen contributions, presented by scholars at different stages of their careers, provide insights into his vernacular and Latin writings. While the Decameron is highlighted, readers will find commentary also on the Fiammetta, Filostrato, Corbaccio, De casibus, and other works, including his efforts as a copyist and creator of literary canons. In addition, scholars review carefully the events of his day and his contemporaries, and trace out the ways that his influence has touched writers of our time. The authors presented their initial ideas, as the sub-title notes, at the ABA triennial meeting in the fall of 2016 and then revised their papers for this volume. We have divided the volume into three sections: Literary Contexts; Historical Contexts; and Boccaccio and the Roles of Women and conclude the volume with an epilogue on paleopathology applied to Boccaccio’s novelle and his own death.

a cura di Valerio Cappozzo
This is the first edited volume that is being published in the United States on the philosopher, artist and writer Carlo Michelstaedter (Gorizia, north Italy, 1887–1910). Studies on Carlo Michelstaedter in the States started with the influential contributions of Daniela Bini ("Carlo Michelstaedter and the Failure of Language", 1992) and Thomas Harrison ("1910: The Emancipation of Dissonance", 1996), which opened critical discussions and new research perspectives: both authors have contributed to this volume. "Storia e storiografia di Carlo Michelstaedter" originated to full the need for further historical analysis on the authors biography and criticism. The volume opens with Sergio Campailla's memories when, in the 1970s, he rediscovered Michelstaedter's largely overlooked documents. Daniela Bini dedicates her essay to the contemporary proliferation of rhetoric, while Thomas Harrison argues that the philosophical concept of authenticity is the one that became explicit in the words of existentialist philosophers after Michelstaedter. Gabriele Zanello reconstructs the biography of Carlo's father, Alberto, and discusses the relationship he had with his son; Valerio Cappozzo traces the editorial path of his poetry, with propositions for its critical edition; Ilvano Caliaro investigates the cultural environment in which Michelstaedter wrote his thesis with a special focus on its preface; Rosalia Peluso concentrates on the philosopher's historicity of life and discusses a note on history that he wrote during his years in Florence; Mimmo Cangiano shows how la 'persuasione' is the ability to resist a specific historical time, and finally Yvonne Hütter gets to the self-destruction of Michelstaedter's philosophical rhetoric.
The appendix offers a wealth of documents and interviews on the author from Gorizia: an unpublished dialogue that Michelstaedter wrote in 1903, when he was a sixteen-year-old high school student the first published article in the United States, one hundred years ago in 1916, by Raffaello Piccoli; interviews with two influential Italian writers, Claudio Magris and Mauro Covacich, both from Trieste, and the hematic analysis of the last page that Carlo wrote, the one with the material traces of the final gesture with which he ended his life at the age of 23.

Giorgio Bassani si definiva prima di tutto poeta. Pur se il corpus narrativo è prevalente nella sua opera, l’attività poetica è inscindibile da quella che ha di volta in volta preso forma nei racconti delle Storie ferraresi e nei suoi romanzi. Sin dalle prime poesie, tra il 1942 e il 1951, raccolte nei volumi Storie dei poveri amanti e altri versi (1945 e 1946), Te lucis ante (1947) e Un’altra libertà (1951), alcune poi riproposte in L’alba ai vetri (1963), sono espressi in nuce tutti gli elementi che verranno sviluppati nelle opere narrative: l’amore per la propria terra, l’esclusione, la lontananza, la solitudine, il senso della morte e la memoria. Le due sillogi successive, Epitaffio (1974) e In gran segreto (1978), raccolgono e accompagnano quasi tutti i motivi ispiratori del romanziere Bassani, ma rivelano un “di più” rispetto alle poesie del passato, con un’attenzione a volte ironica, a volte amara, nei confronti del presente.
Questo volume costituisce il primo studio sistematico sulla poesia di Giorgio Bassani con saggi innovativi che, partendo dagli archivi, dai carteggi inediti dello scrittore, dalle frequentazioni con i maestri e amici di una vita, riflettono sulla relazione tra Bassani-poeta e Bassani-narratore, essenziale per inquadrare la sua figura nel Novecento letterario.

Published under the patronage of the Italian National Committee Giorgio Bassani (1916-2016)
Giorgio Bassani travelled several times to the United States: first as President of the association Italia Nostra, when he presented the exhibition “Italia da salvare”, then for the publication of his novels in the English language, and finally as Visiting Professor of Italian in California, Illinois, and Indiana universities.
In a letter that he wrote in 1976, Bassani referred to these trips as some of the best moments of his life, that also inspired certain among the most successful poems of the collection In Gran Segreto (1978), which can be read as a poetic journal of his American journeys.
The authors, Roberta Antognini, Valerio Cappozzo, Alessandro Giardino, and Sergio Parussa, discuss different aspects of an overlooked moment in Bassani’s life and literature. Professor Edoardo Lèbano, who invited Bassani at Indiana University in the Seventies, opens this book with his memories, while Linda Nemerow Ulman closes it recalling Bassani as her professor.
Lezioni Americane di Giorgio Bassani tells then not only about what Bassani gave to his American students, but it also evokes America as a source of inspiration for the Italian author.
(Con il patrocinio del Comitato Nazionale Giorgio Bassani)
Fra gli anni Sessanta e Settanta Giorgio Bassani si è recato molte volte negli Stati Uniti: prima come presidente dell’asso ciazione Italia Nostra, per presentare la mostra “Italia da salvare”, poi per la pubblicazione delle traduzioni in inglese dei suoi libri, e infine per tenere corsi di letteratura italiana nelle università americane della California, Illinois e Indiana. Ripensando a quei viaggi, in una lettera del 1976 Bassani scri ve che il ricordo si colora della luce del mito fino a sembrargli uno dei periodi più felici della sua vita – un periodo che gli ispirerà, tra l’altro, alcuni dei componimenti più belli della raccolta In gran segreto, quasi un diario di viaggio americano in forma poetica.
È proprio di questo segreto, biografico e letterario, che si sono occupati gli autori dei saggi qui raccolti: Roberta Antognini, Valerio Cappozzo, Alessandro Giardino, Sergio Parussa, con un ricordo del prof. Edoardo Lèbano che in- vitò Bassani all’Indiana University, e di una sua studentessa, Linda Nemerow Ulman.
Le lezioni del titolo non sono da intendersi solo come una riflessione su quel che Bassani poteva insegnare all’Ameri ca – le mostre, i corsi universitari, le conferenze – ma anche come uno studio di quel che l’America poteva dare a Bassani: la lezione letteraria e morale appresa dallo scrittore ferrarese durante i suoi brevi ma intensi soggiorni oltreoceano.

La presente monografía, Dante Alighieri en España. Traducciones, tradiciones y fortuna literaria del Sommo Poeta, supone un estudio original de la obra de Dante Alighieri en España, llevado a cabo por filólogos, traductores, dantólogos y dantistas con motivo del 700 aniversario de la muerte del poeta. Los artículos que com- ponen el volumen tienen el mérito de ofrecer un retrato exhaustivo del florentino, abordando el estudio desde distintos ángulos que ponen de manifiesto el carácter universal de su poética; de ahí que los estudios presentados abarquen apartados distintos del conocimiento científico, desde las categorías analíticas de la recepción literaria a la intertextualidad y la intermedialidad, pasando por la traductología y los estudios filológicos más tradicionales. Este libro se configura, por lo tanto, como una summa de saberes que convierte el trabajo de los estudiosos implicados en un contendor hermenéutico necesarios a abordar la reconocida transversalidad de la obra del florentino. Dicha monografía, que se publica al cuidado de Giovanni Caprara y Silvia Datteroni, precisa proporcionar al público, y más en concreto a los jóvenes estudiantes universitarios interesados en acercarse al Sommo, una valiosa herramienta crítica para seguir investigando y reflexionando sobre su figura, su tiempo y su poética.

Membre de l’Institut de France (Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres) et ancien directeur de l’Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (CNRS), Jacques Dalarun est un des médiévistes français les plus renommés en France et à l’étranger. Ses recherches allient histoire sociale et culturelle, codicologie, philologie et historiographie, en particulier dans le domaine de la sainteté au Moyen Âge, de Robert d’Arbrissel à François et Claire d’Assise, en passant par de nombreux autres saints et saintes, d’Italie notamment.
Sa production nombreuse présente trois caractéristiques principales. D’abord, ses recherches se fondent presque toujours sur la découverte et l’édition critique de sources médiévales inconnues: fin de la Vie de Robert d’Arbrissel, statuts originaux de Fontevraud, Vies abrégées de Bernard de Tiron et d’Hugues de Cluny, miracles de Bérard évêque des Marses, de Micheline de Pesaro, de Giovanni Gueruli de Rimini, plusieurs vies liturgiques de François d’Assise, divers poèmes et traités des Clarisses de Foligno, et surtout, en 2014, la Vie de notre bienheureux père François par Thomas de Celano, la 2e plus ancienne biographie du saint d’Assise. Ensuite, elles aiment prendre la forme de vastes entreprises collectives, dans lesquelles Jacques Dalarun manifeste un rare talent pour faire travailler en bonne harmonie les personnalités les plus diverses, dans les disciplines les plus complémentaires, de la codicologie à l’historiographie la plus récente en passant par la critique textuelle, la critique historique, la traduction. Enfin, elles s’accompagnent toujours d’une exigence de réflexion sur les procédures et les méthodes de l’historien médiéviste. C’est dans cet esprit qu’a été conçu le présent volume: les auteurs sont des savants, principalement de France, d’Italie et des Etats-Unis – et aussi du Canada, du Royaume-Uni et d’Israël – qui ont travaillé avec Jacques Dalarun et qui souhaitent apporter, dans les champs d’étude qu’ils ont labourés avec lui, une réflexion originale sur les méthodes dans la recherche, principalement en histoire religieuse et culturelle du Moyen Âge.

Au cours de plus de 3200 ans, l’interprétation des rêves est restée étonnamment cohérente, montrant que lorsque la rationalité est neutralisée, l’être humain se découvre égal à lui-même. Le déchiffrement des rêves a affecté chaque société qui s’efforce de saisir leur potentiel divinatoire et de tirer profit de la compréhension d’un tel événement symbolique. Dans les temps anciens, au Moyen Âge et à la Re-naissance, les rêves servaient à interpréter la réalité environnante, externe à l’individu, tandis que de-puis le XXe siècle, avec l'avènement de la psychanalyse, ils ont été utilisés pour enquêter sur l’inconscient et en diagnostiquer les névroses. Deux directions d'investigation contraires, externe et interne, qui ont pourtant le même but : celle de rationaliser l'irrationnel.
