While Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde is not, strictly speaking, a translation, it is heavily indebted both to the medieval understanding of Trojan historiography and to Boccacio's handling of the romance of Troiolo and Criseida in his Filostrado. While Chaucer was a capable translator with respect and fondness for Boccaccio's text, he was also a confident innovator who was quite willing to modify, append, or totally change the text whenever the needs of his particular narrative warrant it. One such site of this deliberate alteration is in the handling of the character of Priam, King of Troy. While Chaucer includes every passage in which Boccaccio mentions Priam, he consistently modifies the phrasing or situation in order to downplay the king's political role, emphasizing instead his interpersonal or familial bonds. Furthermore, the material that Chaucer adds concerning Priam expands the changes made in translation, furthering a move away from the social and political and toward the personal and the individual. This example, one of many, indicates that Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde is a work constructed around history that tries to suppress the political and historical, attempting instead to interpret events and characters in terms of their most immediate, personal settings or, when pressed, by eternal truths such as Love or Fortune. Such a focus allows us to see the "depth" of the individual or the philosophical foundations of their faith while attempting to deny the political and ideological construction of this subjectivity and belief.

The present thesis is devided into two basic parts. The first part is theoretical. The theoretical part deals with cathegory of tense generally and the situation of past tenses in three mutually connected languages, i.e. in Latin, contemporary Italian and the 14th centrury Italian as found in grammar books. The second part is practical. The practical part is an analysis of Boccaccio`s Decameron, including the complex relation between passato prossimo and passato remoto.

La thèse se propose, dans une première partie, d’analyser et d'actualiser la tradition manuscrite de la Comedia delle Ninfe Fiorentine, œuvre de jeunesse de Giovanni Boccaccio, composée immédiatement après le retour à Florence de la cour angevine de Naples.L'édition actuelle de Comedia delle Ninfe, est due à Antonio Enzo Quaglio et remonte à 1963. Elle fournit, comme il était d'usage à l'époque, une description brève et peu précise des témoins interrogés. Les manuscrits sont donc classés selon un critère socioculturel (copie a prezzo et copie per passione), datant des codex au quart de siècle. Quand cela est possible, un profil biographique des copistes est fourni. Le travail est complété par les fiches de chacun des témoins individuels acceptés dans le corpus.La deuxième partie de la thèse est un travail de commentaire d’historie littéraire divisé par thèmes. La composition de la Comedia delle Ninfe est liée à l'expérience biographique de son auteur et au développement de son expérience littéraire.L’histoire du dédicataire de l’œuvre, Niccolò di Bartolo del Buono, nous permet de fournir des repères chronologiques pour chacune des deux rédactions de la Comedia.La proposition de mettre en relation Caccia di Diana, Comedia et Amorosa Visione nous donne l’occasion de comparer trois œuvres de Boccaccio, en considérant l’utilisation du capitolo ternario comme premier dénominateur commun.Le chapitre sur le prosimètre donne un aperçu des sources possibles auxquelles Boccaccio peut, ou ne peut pas, faire référence pour cette forme particulière (prose et vers).Enfin, l'analyse de la production bucolique de Boccace et de son évolution amène à considérer le Comedia comme une première œuvre de ce genre avec l’utilisation du vulgaire. / The aim of this thesis is to analyze and updating the manuscript tradition of the Comedia delle Ninfe Fiorentine, written by a young Giovanni Boccaccio in Florence, as he came back there from Naples. The current edition by Antonio Enzo Quaglio (1963) only provides, as was customary at the time, a brief and inaccurate description of the witnesses surveyed. For that reason, in this work manuscripts have been dated a divided into a prezzo and per passion copies. Where possible, a biographical profile of the copyists have been included. Moreover, each copy has its own detection form.The second part of the thesis consists of a historic-literary commentary: the Comedia delle Ninfe is has been interpreted on the basis of the biography of the author and of his literary production. The two draftings of the Comedia have been also dated according to the biography of Niccolò di Bartolo del Buono, to whom this opera was dedicated. Besides, the Comedia has been compared to the Caccia di Diana and the Amorosa Visione, on the basis of the use of the capitolo ternario. A chapter on the prosimetrum provides some hypoteses on the literary sources Boccaccio may have, or may not, referred to. At last, by analysing the bucolic literary works by Boccaccio, the Comedia can be considered the first example in this genre, regarding the use of the vernacular. / La tesi si propone, nella prima parte, di analizzare, aggiornandola, la tradizione manoscritta della Comedia delle Ninfe Fiorentine, opera della giovinezza di Giovanni Boccaccio, composta subito dopo il ritorno del Certaldese a Firenze dalla corte angioina di Napoli. L’edizione esistente della Comedia delle Ninfe, datata 1963 per la cura di Antonio Enzo Quaglio, fornisce, come d’uso all’epoca, una descrizione sommaria e poco accurata dei testimoni censiti. Si classificano quindi i manoscritti secondo un criterio socioculturale (copia a prezzo e copia per passione), datando i codici al quarto di secolo. Si fornisce, ove possibile, un profilo biografico dei copisti. Il lavoro è completato dalle schede di rilevamento dei singoli testimoni accolti nel corpus, redatte secondo un criterio stabilito a priori.La seconda parte della tesi è un lavoro di commento letterario suddiviso per tematiche. La composizione della Comedia delle Ninfe viene messa in relazione con l’esperienza biografica del suo autore e con il dipanarsi della sua esperienza letteraria. La vicenda del dedicatario dell’opera, Niccolò di Bartolo del Buono, permette di collocare con riferimenti cronologici l’identificazione delle due redazioni della Comedia.Occasione di confrontare tre opere del Boccaccio è la proposta di mettere in relazione Caccia di Diana , Comedia e Amorosa Visione considerando come primo denominatore comune l’utilizzo del capitolo ternario.Il capitolo sul prosimetro fornisce una rassegna sulle possibili fonti alle quali Boccaccio può, o non può, aver fatto riferimento nella composizione dell’opera con questa particolare forma.Infine l’analisi della produzione bucolica del Boccaccio, e della sua evoluzione, propone di considerare la Comedia come un’opera prima in questo genere per l’utilizzo del volgare.

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.

La tesi delinea la figura di Gian Giacomo Trivulzio (Milano, 1774-1831), bibliofilo, editore, intellettuale. La prima parte è dedicata a una ricostruzione sistematica della biografia, la seconda si concentra sui principali interessi culturali di Trivulzio, in particolare: l’amore per Parini, la produzione poetica originale (con una breve storia dell’Accademia degli Inesperti), l’attività collezionistico-editoriale legata ai novellieri italiani, gli studi critici e testuali condotti o promossi su una parte dell’opera di Boccaccio. Infine, il progetto di un’antologia della poesia italiana dalle origini a Poliziano e le proposte di emendazione del Convivio, della Vita nuova e delle Rime di Dante testimoniano gli sviluppi più maturi di quella che si può a buon diritto definire filologia trivulziana. / The thesis is about Gian Giacomo Trivulzio (Milan, 1774-1831), bibliophile, editor and intellectual. The first part is a Trivulzio’s systematic biography, the second one focuses on his main cultural interests, particularly: his love for Parini, his original poetic production (with a short history of the “Accademia degli Inesperti”), his collectible and editorial activity linked to the Italian novelists, his critical and textual studies on Boccaccio’s works. Finally, the project concerning an anthology of the Italian poetry from its beginning to Poliziano and the proposals for a recovery of Dante’s Convivio, Vita nuova and Rime textify the most mature developments of what can rightly be defined Trivulziana philology.
