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.

The reader of Boccaccio's voluminous writings, from the early Filocolo through the Decameron and to the later Epistles, cannot help but marvel at the pervasive engagement with the power and reach of consolation. Time and again, his protagonists suffer heartache and tribulation and seek comfort in the words of others or, significantly, in the reading of literature. These scenes are accompanied, tellingly, by the author's own declarations for the care and solace of his readers. Although scholars have long recognized its importance, this wide-ranging and multifaceted exploration of the consolatory value of literature has not received the attention it deserves. Boccaccio and the Consolation of Literature is the first sustained study of Boccaccio's consoling fictions as well as his reflections on the way literature can, and should, offer solace. Across five interlocking chapters, the book analyzes the affective, exemplary, and cognitive modes of consolation that mark the poet's works; but it also underlines the critical dialogue with the ancient and medieval traditions Boccaccio inherits. While his narratives introduce figures and tropes that expound Stoic, Boethian, and Dantesque views of consolation -- calling to overcome sorrow through curbing the passions that lead to grief -- Boccaccio repeatedly dramatizes the limits of these traditions. In laying bare these limits and inviting readers instead to find comfort in shared sorrow or in the active pursuit of worldly desires Boccaccio fashions a new vision of consolatio for the later Middle Ages.

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.
