Накратко на български

Ранната италианска литература (1250–1500 г.) се анализира чрез просиметрите – текстове, съчетаващи проза и стих, като например „Vita Nova“ на Данте. Създаденият списък с такива произведения помага за по-доброто разбиране на характеристиките на тази специфична литературна форма.

An inventory of the prosimetra in vulgar tongue in the early centuries of Italian Literature (1250-1500)

Although well-known Italian works, from Dante’s 'Vita Nova' to Boccaccio’s 'Comedia delle Ninfe fiorentine' as well as to Sannazaro’s 'Arcadia' and Bembo’s 'Asolani', are commonly defined as prosimetra, only recently this literary typology combining prose and verse appears to have gained the critics’ attention as a specific form on its own account. Yet a thorough investigation of this phenomenon has not hitherto been attempted. The main objective of the InProV project is to fill this gap by mapping the tradition of the vernacular prosimetra written in the early centuries of Italian literature and providing an inventory of all such texts. This inventory will allow scholars to gain a deeper understanding of the main features of the prosimetric form, which, during the early periods of Italian literature, provided a valid alternative to works composed solely in prose or verse. Additionally, it will be possible in future to update the inventory in accordance with potential new outcomes of further research in this field. The creation of the inventory encompassed specific facets including the formulation of a comprehensive definition of 'prosimetrum'; the compilation of a list of the prosimetra composed between ca. 1250 and 1500; the establishment of a standardized format for the examination of each text; the systematic analysis of all the prosimetra in accordance with the established format; and finally, the development of a website for the publication of the inventory. At the end of this research project, I can confidently say that the majority of the set objectives have been effectively achieved. The website www.unive.it/inprov has been created and made accessible since last March. In addition to presenting the entire project, the homepage illustrates the definition of 'prosimetrum' which was adopted for creating the inventory, as well as the problems encountered during the research. The core section is represented by the inventory itself, which provides a detailed analysis of most of the texts included in it according to a predetermined format. Due to the complexity of the task, requiring extensive bibliographic research, the examination of all the prosimetra (more than thirty in total) is not yet completed; however, the website will continue to be updated through the uploading of the missing analyses.

Цел на проекта

My research project aims to provide an inventory of the prosimetra written in volgar tongue (InProV) from the origins of Italian literature to the end of the fifteenth century (1250-1500). There exists an abundance of critical bibliography on specific major works written in prosimetrum, from Dante’s Vita Nova to Sannazaro’s Arcadia. However, this peculiar form consisting of prose and metre, which has customarily received cursory treatment in the history of Italian literature, appears only recently to have attracted scholarly attention (cf. Il prosimetro nella letteratura italiana, eds Comboni and Di Ricco, Trento 2000). Yet a thorough investigation resulting in a detailed inventory of the extant texts has not hitherto been attempted. In keeping with other works recently published (such as the Atlante dei canzonieri in volgare del Quattrocento, eds Comboni and Zanato, Florence 2017), the inventory will provide a useful instrument to gain a deeper understanding of the employment of the prosimetrum in the early Italian literary tradition when its use represented a third alternative to the literature either in verse or in prose before evolving into an imitative expedient or a literary exercise. The prosimetra included in the inventory will be examined according to specific criteria concerning textual tradition, typology (lyric, pastoral, philosophical, etc.), metre and subject-matter. The inventory will be published as a hard-copy and on-line, thus enabling researchers in different disciplines (Italian literature, comparative studies, philology, linguistics) to have easy access to extensive information on the prosimetra. Further, it will be possible to update the on-line version in accordance with potential new research findings in this field. The fellowship will give me the opportunity to bolster my academic career and to acquire new competencies in the analysis of early literary texts under the supervision of high-profile scholars in Renaissance studies.
