A History of Poetry in Italy: 1200–1600
Widening the perspective offered by the traditional canon, this history reveals the poetry of Italy between 1200 and 1600 as a site of plurality of genre, form and even language, including not just written texts but also those presented in performance. Within this inclusive framing, poetry's content, its cultural and geographical contexts and its material media of transmission are given equal weight. Decentring major figures and their texts while…

Böninger, Lorenz. Niccolò di Lorenzo della Magna and the Social World of Florentine Printing, ca. 1470–1493
Böninger, Lorenz. Niccolò di Lorenzo della Magna and the Social World of Florentine Printing, ca. 1470–1493. An article from journal Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme (Volume 46, Number 2, Spring 2023, pp. 9-265), on Érudit
On Researching Early Modern Mediated Translations: Challenges and Prospects
In our first forays into the complex landscape of early modern (English) mediated translation, we have come to identify a number of challenges and obstacles to research in this area, from the difficulty of accessing textual or biographical information, to deeper epistemological and critical biases that seem significantly harder to remedy. What follows is a joint reflection on the main issues that we are currently facing and working to address, an…
The Tale of Nonna de’ Pulci (VI.3)
Italian Studies and the Digital
This article reflects on the history and futures of the ‘digital’ — that is, what might be termed ‘digital humanities’ and ‘digital cultures’ in relation to Italian Studies. We provide an overview of some of the major achievements and trends in the field, and show how Italian Studies scholars have engaged with the technological and epistemological developments of the digital age in terms of theories, methods, and approaches to Italian culture. We…
Re-materialising the Incunable Petrarch: Ernest Hatch Wilkins and the Politics of Bibliographical Description
This article re-evaluates the editions of the Rerum vulgarium fragmenta and Triumphi printed between 1470-1500, re-reading not only the book-objects themselves, but also the two fundamental bibliographical articles on the incunable Petrarch written by Ernest Hatch Wilkins, which have shaped the field for the past eighty years. I argue that we should approach this corpus via book-historical, material-textual approaches, viewing the editions as ind…
The Cambridge Companion to Boccaccio
Armstrong, Guyda, Rhiannon Daniels, and Stephen J. Milner, eds. The Cambridge Companion to Boccaccio. An article from journal Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme (Volume 39, Number 1, Winter 2016, pp. 5-212), on Érudit
Coding continental: Information design in sixteenth‐century E nglish vernacular language manuals and translations
This article explores the late‐sixteenth‐century I talian‐ E nglish translated book via an investigation of its visual, textual, and paratextual expression on the page. Drawing on approaches from textual and material history, bibliography, and translation studies, I unpack the constituent elements of the page to draw new conclusions about the functions of the forms of these specific book‐objects. Using a selection of texts of I talian origin, pri…

Decameron and the Philosophy of Storytelling: Author as Midwife and Pimp by Richard Kuhns
Heavenly Bodies: The Presence of the Divine Female in Boccaccio
The image of Boccaccio as devotee of the Virgin Mary is an enduring feature of the 'conversion' model of his literary biography, in which the amorous inclinations of the young writer give way, in later life, to a new focus on religious and moral concerns. This article argues that there are many elements of Boccaccio's writing which remain constant throughout his career, including his continuous deployment of Dantean reference. Through a study of …
