    La tradición del Roman de Fauvel, realización de la alegoría medieval tardía satírica más visible, tiene doce manuscritos, a los que se añaden dos fragmentos de longitud desigual. En los doce manuscritos, el texto de Fauvel preservado incluye los dos Livres tradicionalmente atribuidos a Gervais du Bus: con tres excepciones, cuando los manuscritos transcriben sólo el libro, esa situación puede corresponder a algún factor accidental, o dependen del uso de una copia, pero también reflejan la situación de un ejemplo que lo contiene, que se produjo en la composición y distribución de ambos libros ya terminados. En un caso, sin embargo, en el manuscrito de París BNfr.146, el estado del texto es exactamente lo contrario: la transcripción, o la que aparece como tal, no ha disminuido, sino que más bien aumentó con un alto número de adiciones.The tradition of the Roman de Fauvel, realization of the most conspicuous satirical late-medieval allegory, has twelve manuscripts, to which are added two fragments of unequal length. In the twelve manuscripts, the text of Fauvel preserved includes the two Livres traditionally attributed to Gervais du Bus: With three exceptions, where the manuscripts I transcribe only the Book, that situation may correspond to some accidental factor, or depend on the use of a copy I carried the book, but also reflect the situation of an exemplar that has gone only this, which occurred in the composition and distribution of both books now finished. In one case, however, in the Paris BNfr.146 manuscript, the status of the text is exactly the opposite: the transcription, or one that appears as such, there has decreased, but is rather increased with a high number of additions

    Il Serventese del Dio d’Amore e il suo contesto letterario e editoriale

    Subjects discussed includes material manuscripts and intertextual patterns of a short thirtheenth-century work fragmentary preserved in the Zibaldone da Canal (Venice, 1311) and in the Rime dei Memoriali Bolognesi (Bologna, 1309). A folk-motif (the ‘Purgatory of Cruel Beauties’) is seen as model that both set a pattern for individual successors in verse and provided the groundwerk for the interlace and amplification (the Novel of Nastagio degli Onesti, Decameron, VIII, 5)

    «A grant navie outre la mer» (v. 2256): la battaglia navale di Wistasse il monaco

    Get PDF
    Wistasse le Moine – a 13th century French novel - is a tale, halfway between real history and literary invention, of a real-life character, Eustache Busket, lord of some lands in the Boulogne-sur-Mer region, on the English Channel. The story of his adventures in struggle against the Count of Boulogne Renaud de Dammartin, who robbed him of his fiefdom, is mixed with real events, which saw the kingdoms of France and England fighting. The fight is full of twists and turns, until the novel relates some true historical facts, which culminate in the Battle of Sandwich (1217), where the British win the French, and Wistasse-Eustache, who is the leader of the French fleet, is defeated and dies.Wistasse le Moine – romanzo del XIII secolo in langue d’oïl – è narrazione, a metà tra realtà storica e invenzione letteraria, di un personaggio realmente vissuto, Eustache Busket, signore di alcune terre nella regione di Boulogne-sur-Mer, sul Canale della Manica. Il racconto delle sue avventure nella lotta contro il Conte di Boulogne Renaud de Dammartin, che lo aveva depredato dei suoi possedimenti feudali, viene a fondersi con eventi reali, intercorsi tra i regni d’Inghilterra e di Francia. La lotta è densa di trucchi e tiri, sino a quando il romanzo si chiude riferendo gli autentici fatti della vita di Wistasse, culminati nella battaglia di Sandwich (1217), dove gli Inglesi vinsero i Francesi, e Wistasse-Eustache, comandante della flotta francese, venne sconfitto e ucciso

    I cavalieri dalle insegne bianche. L’uso del colore nelle «Merveilles de Rigomer»

    Berlin and Kay’s theory on the use of color in human societies (which really concerns the linguistic terms with which such colors are perceived and defined) and Michel Pastoureau’s research are important for the study of the functioning of cultures in time and space.The article aims to examine the use of color – a particular colour, the white – in a text that belongs to the European Middle Ages, the romance entitled «Les Merveilles de Rigomer», composed towards the end of the 13th century in an area of North-Eastern France, focusing on the character of the knight Lancelot, the figure on which the meaning of the romance is structured and organized.La teoria di Berlin e Kay sull’uso del colore nelle società umane (che in verità concerne i termini linguistici con cui tali colori sono percepiti e definiti) e le ricerche di Michel Pastoureau sono importanti per lo studio del funzionamento delle culture nel tempo e nello spazio. L’articolo vuole soffermarsi sull’uso del colore - un colore particolare, il bianco - in un testo che appartiene al Medioevo europeo, il romanzo che si intitola alle Merveilles de Rigomer, composto verso la fine del XIII secolo in un’area della Francia nord-orientale, soffermandosi sul personaggio del cavaliere Lancelot, figura sulla quale è strutturato il romanzo e organizzato il suo significato

    La condanna della tessitura. Origine e funzione di un motivo narrativo nel Roman de Jaufre in altri romanzi arturiani

    Get PDF
    Nei romanzi medievali (ad iniziare da Jaufre, composto intorno al 1225), i cavalieri impegnati nell'aventure si trovano a volte costretti ad una prova di tessitura di stoffe. Questa prova è considerata infamante perché collegata al lavoro manuale. Solo i cavalieri più valorosi, o che possono contare su un cavaliere amico (come Lancelot aiutato da Gauvain nelle Merveilles de Rigomer, fine del secolo XIII), riescono a sottrarvisi, abbattendo coloro che li hanno costretti a questa infamia e ritrovando poi la loro libertà e il loro onore. Ma questo locus narrativo diviene presto un 'motivo' importante nell'economia narrativa dei romanzi

    Il Dit de Merlin Mellot fra racconto tradizionale e riscrittura edificante

    Get PDF
    Se ha prestado poca atención al cuento medieval conocido bajo el título de Merlin Mellot: se puede decir que no se le ha dedicado ningún trabajo específico. En cambio es un texto interesante tanto por una identificación de género (oscila entre fabliau y dit, anticipa los desarrollos modernos de la novela), como en términos de material narrativo. Que se relaciona con un camino narrativo de una tradición quizás antigua, pero ciertamente tiene un éxito medieval y renacentista hasta la edad moderna, la historia conocida por los folkloristas bajo la indicación de The Fisherman and His Wife

    Clinical features and outcomes of elderly hospitalised patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure or both

    Background and objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) mutually increase the risk of being present in the same patient, especially if older. Whether or not this coexistence may be associated with a worse prognosis is debated. Therefore, employing data derived from the REPOSI register, we evaluated the clinical features and outcomes in a population of elderly patients admitted to internal medicine wards and having COPD, HF or COPD + HF. Methods: We measured socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics, severity and prevalence of comorbidities, clinical and laboratory features during hospitalization, mood disorders, functional independence, drug prescriptions and discharge destination. The primary study outcome was the risk of death. Results: We considered 2,343 elderly hospitalized patients (median age 81 years), of whom 1,154 (49%) had COPD, 813 (35%) HF, and 376 (16%) COPD + HF. Patients with COPD + HF had different characteristics than those with COPD or HF, such as a higher prevalence of previous hospitalizations, comorbidities (especially chronic kidney disease), higher respiratory rate at admission and number of prescribed drugs. Patients with COPD + HF (hazard ratio HR 1.74, 95% confidence intervals CI 1.16-2.61) and patients with dementia (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.06-2.90) had a higher risk of death at one year. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed a higher mortality risk in the group of patients with COPD + HF for all causes (p = 0.010), respiratory causes (p = 0.006), cardiovascular causes (p = 0.046) and respiratory plus cardiovascular causes (p = 0.009). Conclusion: In this real-life cohort of hospitalized elderly patients, the coexistence of COPD and HF significantly worsened prognosis at one year. This finding may help to better define the care needs of this population
