University of Notre Dame & Opera del Vocabolario Italiano (OVI) Videoconference Seminars – Spring 2017
Thursday, April 27 from 10-11:30am in Room 121, ITC, Notre Dame (16:00-17:30 at Notre Dame’s Rome Global Gateway)
Paolo Squillacioti: “Variazioni testuali in un manoscritto senese del Tesoro volgare (Laur. Pl. XLII 22)” (Textual Variants of the Tesoro volgare in a Sienese Manuscript (Laur. Pl. XLII 22))
Il ms. Pl. XLII 22 della Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana di Firenze tramanda un volgarizzamento senese del primo libro del Tresor di Brunetto Latini: una versione a sé stante dell’opera, poco utile perciò per la ricostruzione del testo critico, ma per varie ragioni molto interessante.
Paolo Squillacioti è ricercatore all’OVI dal 2001. Studioso di filologia romanza, e in particolare della letteratura galloromanza medievale (trovatori provenzali, tra i quali spicca Folquet de Marselha, Brunetto Latini e il suo Tresor) e della letteratura italiana medievale (volgarizzamenti toscani del Tresor, influsso delle letteratura cortese sulle opere di Dante e Boccaccio) e contemporanea (Leonardo Sciascia, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa).
