Paroimia: Brusantino, Florio, Sarnelli, and Italian Proverbs From the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
Author: Daniela D’Eugenio
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 1612496733
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 623
Book Description
Proverbs constitute a rich archive of historical, cultural, and linguistic significance that affect genres and linguistics codes. They circulate through writers, texts, and communities in a process that ultimately results in modifications in their structure and meanings. Hence, context plays a crucial role in defining proverbs as well as in determining their interpretation. Vincenzo Brusantino’s Le cento novella (1554), John Florio’s Firste Fruites (1578) and Second Frutes (1591), and Pompeo Sarnelli’s Posilecheata (1684) offer clear representations of how traditional wisdom and communal knowledge reflect the authors’ personal perspectives on society, culture, and literature. The analysis of the three authors’ proverbs through comparisons with classical, medieval, and early modern collections of maxims and sententiae provides insights on the fluidity of such expressions, and illustrates the tight relationship between proverbs and sociocultural factors. Brusantino’s proverbs introduce ethical interpretations to the one hundred novellas of Boccaccio’s The Decameron, which he rewrites in octaves of hendecasyllables. His text appeals to Counter-Reformation society and its demand for a comprehensible and immediately applicable morality. In Florio’s two bilingual manuals, proverbs fulfill a need for language education in Elizabethan England through authentic and communicative instruction. Florio manipulates the proverbs’ vocabulary and syntax to fit the context of his dialogues, best demonstrating the value of learning Italian in a foreign country. Sarnelli’s proverbs exemplify the inherent creative and expressive potentialities of the Neapolitan dialect vis-à-vis languages with a more robust literary tradition. As moral maxims, ironic assessments, or witty insertions, these proverbs characterize the Neapolitan community in which the fables take place.

Pages : 857
Book Description
A Worlde of Wordes, the first-ever comprehensive Italian-English dictionary, was published in 1598 by John Florio. One of the most prominent linguists and educators in Elizabethan England, Florio was greatly responsible for the spreading of Italian letters and culture throughout educated English society. Especially important was Florio’s dictionary, which – thanks to its exuberant wealth of English definitions – made it initially possible for English readers to access Italy’s rich Renaissance literary and scientific culture. Award-winning author Hermann W. Haller has prepared the first critical edition of A Worlde of Wordes, which features 46,000 Italian entries – among them dialect forms, erotic terminology, colloquial phrases, and proverbs of the Italian language. Haller reveals Florio as a brilliant English translator and creative writer, as well as a grammarian and language teacher. His helpful critical commentary highlights Florio’s love of words and his life-long dedication to promoting Italian language and culture abroad.

Identità linguistiche e letterarie nell'Europa romanza
Author: Alberto Vàrvaro
Publisher: Salerno Editrice
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : it
Pages : 840
Book Description
Nel corso della sua intensa attività di docente e di studioso, Alberto Vàrvaro ha indagato, con un rigore metodologico e un'originalità critica fuori dal comune, le tradizioni linguistiche e letterarie del mondo romanzo, soprattutto di età medievale: una selezione dei suoi scritti - rappresentativa, per quanto è possibile, della pluralità d'interessi dell'autore - viene ora riproposta in un unico volume, completo di Indici analitici e di Bibliografia. Questa iniziativa, nata come omaggio all'autore in occasione dei suoi settant'anni, offre la possibilità di accedere a testi dispersi e talora scarsamente reperibili, e di ripercorrere alcuni momenti significativi nell'itinerario intellettuale di uno dei maggiori filologi contemporanei. Un itinerario di grande ricchezza e vivacità, che spazia dalla genesi delle lingue romanze alla storia linguistica della Sicilia e dell'Italia meridionale, alle vicende del maltese e del giudeo-spagnolo; dall'elaborazione e fruizione di testi epici, lirici e narrativi di area iberica, francese e italiana ai temi folclorici che in essi saltuariamente affiorano, fino ai problemi cruciali nella critica del testo, il lavoro del copista, il concetto stesso di autore di un testo medievale. Il tutto condito da una continua attenzione al contesto, cioè alla storia, sociale e culturale, del tempo e dell'ambiente in cui i testi vengono prodotti e utilizzati, e da un'istintiva diffidenza per le idées reçues, per i luoghi comuni del sapere linguistico, letterario e filologico, che spesso ottundono la nostra capacità di comprensione del reale
