Advertising doubt in early modern Italy
Spelled in several different ways, the word ‘doubt’, usually in the plural ‘doubts’ (dubbi, dubitazioni) appears on the frontispiece of several works printed in Venice and elsewhere in Italy in the sixteenth century. Building on different traditions, ranging from the pseudo‐Aristotelian Problemata to Medieval didactic literature, these texts, normally in the vernacular, address questions that the average reader may have on a variety of topics: fr…

Domestic Devotions in Early Modern Italy
Domestic Devotions in Early Modern Italy illuminates the vibrancy of spiritual beliefs and practices which profoundly shaped family life in this era. Scholarship on Catholicism has tended to focus on institutions, but the home was the site of religious instruction and reading, prayer and meditation, communal worship, multi-sensory devotions, contemplation of religious images and the performance of rituals, as well as extraordinary events such as …
Doubting the Divine in Early Modern Europe
Building the Chivalric Canon
This article explores the 1552 posthumous edition of Teofilo Folengo’s Macaronee, which included his masterpiece Baldus, and the preface to the work penned in late 1544/early 1545 by one Vigaso Cocaio. Following a suggestion by Luca Curti, who identified Vigaso with Lodovico Domenichi, I suggest including the Baldus in Domenichi’s publication programme of chivalric novels. This included Pulci’s Morgante and Boiardo’s Inamoramento de Orlando, both…

Domestic Devotions in the Early Modern World
This volume sets out to explore the world of domestic devotions and is premised on the assumption that the home was a central space of religious practice and experience throughout the early modern world. The contributions to this book, which deal with themes dating from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, tell of the intimate relationship between humans and the sacred within the walls of the home. The volume demonstrates that the home cannot…
Reading, Devotion and Religious Print in Early Cinquecento Naples
This article analyses a little known Christian epic poem, the Christiade by Francesco Sovaro. Printed in Naples in 1539, the poem is a mosaic of passages from the Gospels offering a synoptic version of the life of Christ. I argue that the Christiade represents not only a literary work, but also a tool for approaching the Gospels and for practicing domestic devotion. The Christiade could either be read in its entirety as a poem, or be perused as a…
E poi in Roma ognuno è Aretino”
This article explores Pietro Aretino’s pasquinade production as a crucial phase in the construction of his public and literary persona that is characterized by a peculiar effacement of the author’s voice. The article then focuses on issues of anonymity and authorship in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, with special attention devoted to the connections between the pasquinade and Burchiellesque traditions and the idea of the author that emerg…
War, Grammar and Philology
This essay focuses on the context of Fortunio's Regole grammaticali della volgar lingua. It traces the origins of this work back to 1502–03, against the background of the wars of Italy and the dramatic changes taking place in Italian culture in those years. The sudden loss of a generation of humanists and the threat that war posed to Italy's cultural identity came as a shock to men of letters such as Pietro Bembo and Fortunio. Their humanistic ba…
La Poetica Dell’epica Sacra Tra Cinque E Seicento in Italia
Over the course of sixteenth century and in the early seventeenth century, a remarkable number of biblical poems were written in Italy. Their authors attempted to outdo classical authors by replacing, within the highest literary genre (e.g. epic), the false pagan divinities with the authentic Christian God. Along with these attempts came an extremely interesting, and thus far neglected, reflection on the specific features and problems raised by b…
