"The Sixth Day of Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron marks a new beginning. Its first story is the structural centre of the one hundred tales and signals the start of the day's reflection on the power of the word as the fundamental building block of human communication. This collection gathers together readings of each of the ten stories in Day Six of the Decameron--the shortest of the entire work. Featuring a diverse group of literary scholars whose expertise is not limited to Boccaccio studies, the collection offers both comprehensive accounts of the tales and new interpretations of their significance. A major contribution to the study of the Decameron, it will also serve as an excellent starting point for new readers of Boccaccio's masterpiece. The readings demonstrate how Boccaccio engaged in rethinking or elaborating on the heritage of Western literature and thought, including the Bible; the works of Dante; the Roman literary, rhetorical, and legal tradition; the writings of the Church Fathers; and the ideas of scholastic theologians. These lecturae employ a range of methodologies that account for both historical and theoretical issues in their engagement with Boccaccio's poetic and ethical project in the Decameron."--

Ce volume est le fruit d’un colloque organisé en février 2016 à la Sorbonne Nouvelle par le CERLIM. L’enjeu premier était d’offrir un état de la réflexion sur Guido Guinizzelli et Guido Cavalcanti, les deux poètes du XIIIe siècle au programme de l’agrégation d’italien en 2016 et 2017. Réunir la plupart des meilleurs spécialistes fournissait dès lors l’occasion de prendre connaissance des dernières avancées interprétatives en la matière. Le résultat est donc un ouvrage à la fois pédagogique et novateur qui, attentif aux contextes qui ont vu naître nos deux auteurs, cherche à examiner chacun d’eux pour lui-même tout en tâchant de mieux cerner la nature de leurs rapports. C’est un livre au sens propre, où circulent les voix d’un intense dialogue, parfois contradictoire, notamment en ce qui concerne le second Guido. Cela ne veut pas dire que le dernier mot soit dit. L’extraordinaire richesse et problématicité de la poésie cavalcantienne est un défi pour l’interprétation et continuera de solliciter la sagacité des herméneutes. La poésie du premier Guido reste elle aussi pleine de secrets à percer, notamment pour ce qui est de son arrière-plan culturel, scientifique, philosophique. Ce livre en appelle donc d’autres, dont il espère pouvoir nourrir la réflexion. This volume is the result of a symposium held in February 2016 at the New Sorbonne University by the CERLIM. Its prime aim was to provide a review of current research on Guido Guinizzelli and Guido Cavalcanti, the two 13th century poets included on the 2016 and 2017 program of the Agrégation d’Italien. Reuniting most of the best specialists provided an opportunity to learn about the latest interpretative advances on the topic. The results is thus a volume both educational and innovative. Attentive to both authors’ writing contexts, it seeks to examine each one for himself while trying to better our understanding of their relationship’s nature. This is a book in the true sense where circulate the voices of an…
