Assumendo come campo operativo lo spazio comunicativo siciliano nei secoli XV-XVII, il presente lavoro offre un contributo assai innovativo alla storiografia delle lingue romanze. Attraverso una capillare analisi di dieci Ricettari di segreti, una tradizione discorsiva scientifico-religiosa tanto contenutisticamente, quanto linguisticamente composita ed eterogenea, si analizzano in maniera esemplare le dinamiche di contatto tra gli idiomi presenti nel Regno di Sicilia (latino, siciliano, toscano, castigliano, ecc.) sia sul piano dell'organizzazione testuale, sia sui livelli fonografematico, morfosintattico e semantico-lessicale. Quanto osservato sul piano dell'analisi testuale in merito al generarsi di varietà di contatto è messo efficacemente in relazione, sul metalivello, alle principali epistemi medioevali e della prima età moderna, a partire dalla concezione scolastico-aristotelica della variazione linguistica per giungere al dibattito rinascimentale sulla Questione della lingua. Dalla connessione dei due piani si traggono lucide conclusioni per una storia della lingua immune a ogni linea di pensiero teleologica.

De vulgari eloquentia, written by Dante in the early years of the fourteenth century, is the only known work of medieval literary theory to have been produced by a practising poet, and the first to assert the intrinsic superiority of living, vernacular languages over Latin. Its opening consideration of language as a sign-system includes foreshadowings of twentieth-century semiotics, and later sections contain the first serious effort at literary criticism based on close analytical reading since the classical era. Steven Botterill here offers an accurate Latin text and a readable English translation of the treatise, together with notes and introductory material, thus making available a work which is relevant not only to Dante's poetry and the history of Italian literature, but to our whole understanding of late medieval poetics, linguistics, and literary practice.
