Italian literature emerged around 1600 at the intersection of poetological and religious attempts at standardization and under the attentive watch of a literary community and its critical discussions as well as the censorship and inquisition of the Counter-Reformation. This volume sheds light on creativity under the conditions of this twofold "observance" by looking at texts from various genres written between ca. 1550 and 1650. Italienische Literatur entsteht um 1600 in einem Schnittpunkt von poetologischen und religiösen Normierungsbestrebungen und unter wachsamer Beobachtung sowohl seitens einer kritisch diskutierenden literarischen Gemeinschaft als auch der gegenreformatorischen Zensur und Inquisition. Kirchliche Autoritäten kontrollieren die Literatur von außen, während die Literaten in einem Dialog des Aushandelns von Normen und der wachsamen Beratung und Kritik untereinander begriffen sind. Der Titel dieses Bandes benennt dies mit dem Begriff der ‚Observanz‘ in seiner Doppelbedeutung von ‚Beobachtung’ und ‚Regelbeachtung‘. Diese Situation nur als äußere Beschränkung künstlerischen Schaffens zu fassen, wäre freilich reduktiv. Anhand von Texten unterschiedlicher medialer und gattungspoetischer Formate vom Epos bis zur Oper wird gezeigt, wie zwischen 1550 und 1650 dichterische Kreativität unter den besonderen Bedingungen dieser doppelten Observanz zu Lösungen, Evasionen oder Immunisierungen gelangt; wie Autoren auf die textuelle und mediale Gestalt ihrer Werke und auf die Gestaltung oder auch Verhüllung ihrer Autorschaft achtgeben und wie andererseits die Aufmerksamkeit der Rezipierenden auf Problemlagen fokussiert oder aber zerstreut werden kann.

Il volume si propone di affrontare la tematica del tradurre medievale – dal latino al volgare e viceversa, ma anche da un volgare a un altro – secondo un approccio interdisciplinare, accompagnando allo scavo filologico un’analisi sociale e culturale del fenomeno. Accomuna i diversi saggi l’intenzione di indagare la pratica del tradurre nella sua complessità culturale (in quanto attività di (re)interpretazione dei testi di partenza), e di analizzarne i risvolti sociali all’interno di un più ampio quadro di circolazione e di distribuzione dei saperi. In questo senso, assume un ruolo centrale lo studio dei volgarizzamenti delle opere cosiddette "moderne", che pongono dei problemi diversi rispetto ai volgarizzamenti dei classici, e permettono di tracciare un quadro più esaustivo in termini di rappresentatività, affiancando alla letteratura laica quella religiosa. Apre il volume una ampia introduzione sulla pratica del tradurre in Toscana, seguita da cinque sezioni, incentrate rispettivamente sulla tradizione provenzale e francese, sul rapporto tra canone e volgarizzamenti, sulla storia sociale del volgarizzare, sulla distribuzione dei saperi e delle lingue, e, infine, sul periodo umanistico e la lingua del potere, tra Roma e Firenze. The contributions gathered in this volume discuss the complex topic of translating in medieval Italy from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining the philological approach with a detailed social and cultural analysis. The authors discuss, among other topics, translations of ‘classical’ and particularly so-called ‘modern’ texts, the distribution of knowledge and languages, and the social history of translating.

The early modern and modern cultural world in the West would be unthinkable without Petrarch and Boccaccio. Despite this fact, there is still no scholarly contribution entirely devoted to analysing their intellectual revolution. Internationally renowned scholars are invited to discuss and rethink the historical, intellectual, and literary roles of Petrarch and Boccaccio between the great model of Dante's encyclopedia and the ideas of a double or multifaceted culture in the era of Italian Renaissance Humanism. In his lyrical poems and Latin treatises, Petrarch created a cultural pattern that was both Christian and Classical, exercising immense influence on the Western World in the centuries to come. Boccaccio translated this pattern into his own vernacular narratives and erudite works, ultimately claiming as his own achievement the reconstructed unity of the Ancient Greek and Latin world in his contemporary age. The volume reconsiders Petrarch's and Boccaccio's heritages from different perspectives (philosophy, theology, history, philology, paleography, literature, theory), and investigates how these heritages shaped the cultural transition between the end of the Middle Ages and the early modern era, as well as European identity.
