Semantica della voce: la «voz rauca» nella lirica occitanica

Susanna Barsotti — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

RIASSUNTO: Nei trovatori la connotazione «rauca» della voce genera un giudizio qualitativo che può definire non solo il sentimento che accompagna la composizione, ma anche e soprattutto il grado stilistico del prodotto poetico. Scopo dell’indagine è di inquadrare la voce in virtù della sua natura spiritale e di porre in relazione questo aspetto con il carattere pneumo-fantasmatico dell’amore e del linguaggio, nonché con la dimensione espressivo-affettiva dell’io lirico. Il valore stilistico della raucedine verrà convalidato e integrato, in questa prospettiva, tramite confronti con occorrenze tardo-antiche o mediolatine (Isidoro di Siviglia, Marbodo da Rennes, Baudri de Bourgueil) e prove di impianto filosofico.

ABSTRACT: In the Old Occitan lyric, the «rauca» voice implies a qualitative judgment that can define not only the feeling that accompanies the composition, but also the stylistic level of the poetry. Aim of this study is to frame the voice by its spiritual nature and to relate this aspect to the pneumo-phantasmatic character of love and language, as well as to the espressive-affective dimension of the lyric ego. The stylistic value of the hoarse voice will be validated and supplemented by comparisons with late-ancient or Middle-Latin occurrences (Isidore of Seville, Marbodo of Rennes, Baudri of Bourgueil) and tests of philosophical plant.

Una «Gelegenheitsammlung» catalana del canzoniere R (BnF, fr. 22543)?

Caterina Menichetti — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

RIASSUNTO: L’articolo esamina la serie finale della sezione R² dello Chansonnier d’Urfé (R_162-R_193). Combinando l’analisi dell’epoca e dei contesti di produzione delle liriche; l’esame della loro tradizione manoscritta; e lo studio delle tecniche di compilazione del canzoniere C, parallelo di R, si avanza l’ipotesi che la sezione R² sia debitrice di una raccolta d’occasione assemblata a ridosso del 1250, e particolarmente esposta a materiali di ascendenza catalana e a testi di ambiente italiano di argomento latamente «imperiale».

ABSTRACT: The article is devoted to the final part of the Chansonnier d’Urfé section called R² (R_162-R_193). Managing the analysis of the time and contexts of production of the poems; the examination of their manuscript tradition; and the study of the compilation techniques of songbook C, the hypothesis is put forward that R² is indebted to a collection assembled around 1250, and exposed to material of Catalan ascendancy and to texts of Italian origin of «imperial» setting.

La recepció del contrapàs dantesc en les lletres catalanes cap a la tardor medieval

Cèlia Nadal Pasqual — Tue, 30 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

De manera més o menys explícita, registram la transmissió del model del contrapàs en diversos autors catalans posteriors a la Comèdia devers un segle, com Bernat Metge o Ausiàs March. El diàleg amb el model desemboca en innovacions importants, de regust premodern. En el cas d’Ausiàs March, l’escenari de l’ultramon cristià es trasllada a la dimensió interior de l’individu, amb fortes dosis de realisme psicològic i amb els símptomes d’una crisi cultural. Fonent elements de la Comèdia i exprimint els recursos de l’arquetip del contrapàs, el poeta s’apropia del seu mecanisme i avança en el camí de la tardor medieval.

«Famusi et caritativi hospitali»: Barcelona i la referencialitat del gran hospital urbà

Pol Bridgewater Mateu — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

RESUM: Durant la baixa edat mitjana, alguns centres hospitalaris van adquirir una certa fama o reputació de grandesa, bones pràctiques i exemplaritat. En aquest article, proposem que, davant de la diversitat d’orígens institucionals i models administratius, la fama és un dels elements aglutinadors més importants del fenomen del gran hospital baixmedieval. En aquest sentit, utilitzem la noció de referencialitat per avaluar el grau d’influència i la capacitat d’esdevenir model d’aquestes institucions. Aquestes dinàmiques es presenten tant en un marc regional ampli, la Corona d’Aragó o el món mediterrani, com en un espai local més específic a través de la interacció entre l’Hospital de la Santa Creu i l’Hospital d’en Pere Desvilar de Barcelona.

ABSTRACT: During the Late Middle Ages, some hospitals acquired a certain reputation of greatness and exemplarity. In this article, I propose that, given the diversity of institutional origins and administrative models, this reputation is one of the most important unifying elements of the great late medieval hospital. In this sense, I use the notion of referentiality to define how these hospitals influenced other institutions. These dynamics are presented both in a broad regional framework, such as central and northern Italy, the Crown of Aragon or the Mediterranean world, and in a more specific local space, through the interaction between the Hospital de la Santa Creu and the Hospital d’en Pere Desvilar in Barcelona.

Reflections on the Circulation of Wisdom Literature in Late Medieval Aragon and Castile

Barry Taylor — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

ABSTRACT: This article studies three stages in the circulation of wisdom literature in Aragon and Castile in the later Middle Ages: 1) Origins: wisdom texts in romance were preceded by texts in Arabic, Hebrew and Latin. By the time these romance texts appeared there was a highly developed (in terms of aids for the reader) of florilegia in Latin which, often dependent on other florilegia, preserved a wide range of authors, both familiar and rare. 2) Manuscript context: a conspectus of the manuscripts in which the vernacular texts are found suggests that scribes (or perhaps rather editors) had a sense of what defined wisdom as a genre. 3) Consumption: the article concludes with the use which romance authors made of the Latin florilegia and testifies to the function of these florilegia as a network of knowledge.
