This text proposes a rereading of the Decameron that traces the female figures - 'constrained' as we are told in the Proem, by the 'wishes', 'desires' and 'orders' of fathers, mothers, brothers and husbands - in their attempt to open up areas of personal life. The possession of the female body, considered as part of the family property in a social context governed by a commercial rationale, is an instrument of the violence characterising all social relations, which Boccaccio indicates as a cause for the wrath of God that exploded in the plague of 1348. Moreover, their bodies also become an instrument in the hands of the women themselves when they decide - with all the ambiguity which the context imposed (even on the author) - to repossess the same to use it as a weapon of revenge, an occasion of joy or a gift of love. Il testo propone una rilettura del Decameron seguendo le figure femminili "costrette", come dice il Proemio, "da' voleri, da' piaceri, da' comandamenti de' padri, delle madri, de' fratelli e de' mariti" nei loro tentativi di aprire spazi di vita propria. Il possesso del corpo delle donne, parte del patrimonio familiare nel contesto sociale guidato dalla ragion di mercatura, è uno strumento della violenza che connota tutti i rapporti sociali, e che il Boccaccio indica come causa dell'ira di Dio esplosa nella peste del 1348. Ma diviene anche strumento delle donne quando decidono con tutta l'ambiguità che il contesto imponeva (anche all'Autore) di riappropriarsene per farne arma di vendetta, occasione di gioia, o dono d'amore.

Situates the often neglected collection of English Renaissance narrative poems A Mirror for Magistrates in the cultural context of its production, locating it not as a primitive form of tragedy, but as the epitome of the de casibus literary tradition.

Auf der Basis einer neuen Sichtung der italienischen, lateinischen und deutschsprachigen Überlieferung in Handschrift und Druck hat diese Studie zum Ziel, die Frühphase der Boccaccio-Rezeption im deutschsprachigen Raum neu zu schreiben. Zwei Phasen zeichnen sich ab: Einer ersten, humanistischen, die in den 1460er Jahren einsetzt und über lateinische Zwischenstufen verläuft, folgt eine zweite, populäre, in der die Novellen in der Mehrheit aus Kompilationen gezogen sind. Die Publikation des um 1476/77 ins Deutsche übertragenen Dekameron situiert sich dazwischen. Ältere und neuere Fragestellungen um die Diffusion der Novellen und den Kulturtransfer zwischen Italien und Deutschland, um Figuren wie Niklas von Wyle, Arigo, Albrecht von Eyb und seine Paveser Universitätskommilitonen sowie Georg Wickram werden hier aufgegriffen und neu beantwortet. Die Analyse der Novellen, die vereinzelt gedruckt wurden, dabei bleibt die in der Forschung am meisten untersuchte “Griseldis” im Hintergrund, während sich “Guiscard und Sigismunde” als der rote Faden durch mehrere Kapitel zieht – schließt mit der anonymen Übersetzung der “Francisca”-Novelle ( Dekameron IX,1), einem Neufund, ab. Band zwei bietet, neben einem umfassenden Katalog der handschriftlichen und gedruckten Novellen, ihre philologisch-kritische Textedition neben einer Neuausgabe von Wyles Übertragung von Dekameron IV,1 sowie der “Cymon”-Novelle von Johann Haselberg (1516).

Giovanni Boccaccio played a pivotal role in the extraordinary emergence of the Italian literary tradition in the fourteenth century, not only as author of the Decameron, but also as scribe of Dante, Petrarch and Cavalcanti. Using a single codex written entirely in Boccaccio's hand, Martin Eisner brings together material philology and literary history to reveal the multiple ways Boccaccio authorizes this vernacular literary tradition. Each chapter offers a novel interpretation of Boccaccio as a biographer, storyteller, editor and scribe, who constructs arguments, composes narratives, compiles texts and manipulates material forms to legitimize and advance a vernacular literary canon. Situating these philological activities in the context of Boccaccio's broader reflections on poetry in the Decameron and the Genealogy of the Gentile Gods, the book produces a new portrait of Boccaccio that integrates his vernacular and Latin works, while also providing a new context for understanding his fictions.

Around 1600, two independent translations were made of Boccaccio’s Elegia di madonna Fiammetta (ca. 1343/44) in the Upper German speech area. This historical critical edition presents the older of the two translations by Johann Engelbert Noyse. Its bilingual format allows the translation (Venice 1565) to be compared with the original Italian text. This edition is targeted at both a specialist audience and interested readers. In der Zeitspanne von wenigen Jahrzehnten entstanden um 1600 zwei Übersetzungen von Giovanni Boccaccios Elegia di madonna Fiammetta (um 1343/44) unabhängig voneinander im oberdeutschen Sprachraum: beide blieben ungedruckt, vielleicht wegen der Thematik, eines inneren Monologes (»Klage«) einer verheiraten Dame über den Verlust ihres Liebhabers. Die historisch-kritische Edition präsentiert die ältere der beiden Übertragungen Johann Engelbert Noyses aus einem Manuskript im Besitz der Gräfin Maria Katharina Fugger (Bibl. Passau) und zieht stellenweise im Kommentarteil die zweite Übersetzung (Bibl. Bayreuth) des Ludwig Freiherr von Kuef(f)stein zum Vergleich heran. Ein italienischer Paralleldruck (Venedig 1565) erlaubt den Vergleich mit dem italienischen Ausgangstext. Die Ausgabe richtet sich sowohl an ein Fachpublikum als auch an interessierte Leser*innen.
