Through the analysis of various types of autograph materials (sketches, zibaldoni, annotated books, etc.), the student will be able to develop further skills aimed at studying the genesis of the texts and will have the opportunity to refine the methodology of approach to the sources.

Programme

HOW BOCCACCIO WORKED: AUTOGRAPHS AND EDITORIAL PATHS, SOURCES AND LIBRARY
The genesis and specific moments of the compositional path of some of Boccaccio's works in prose and poetry will be analyzed from the autographs or the most relevant manuscripts in the tradition, with in-depth analysis of Boccaccio's sources and taking into account the codices in his library. Particular attention will be paid to the ‘Decameron’, the Rime and ‘Trattatello in laude di Dante’ on the side of vernacular texts, and to the ‘Buccolicum carmen’ and the ‘Genealogie deorum gentilium’ on the side of Latin texts.
