Il seguente saggio analizza la figura della "femmina balba" che irrompe nella deriva onirica del XIX canto del Purgatorio di Dante; e riflette sulla relazione tra questa figura e il suo modello ipotetico, il poema pseudo-ovidiano noto come De Vetula. Entrambi i testi presentano un tentativo di "riscrivere" Ovidio alla luce di un adattamento della metamorfosi all'ideologia del contesto cristiano e un'identificazione di auctor e agens inseriti in un percorso di purificazione. La "femmina balba" diventa così l'occasione poetica per iniziare una sfida con Ovidio e stabilire la superiorità di Dante, un poeta "moderno" e cristiano, in materia di metamorfosi. ___ The following essay analyses the figure of the ‘femmina balba’ that breaks into the oneiric drift of the nineteenth canto of Dante’s Purgatorio; and reflects on the relationship between this figure and its hypothetical model, the pseudo-Ovidian poem known as De Vetula. In both texts there is an attempt to ‘rewrite’ Ovid in the light of an adaptation of the metamorphosis to the ideology of the Christian context and an identification of auctor and agens inserted in a path of purification. The ‘femmina balba’ thus becomes the poetic occasion to start a challenge with Ovid and establish the superiority of Dante, a ‘modern’ and Christian poet, in the matter of metamorphosis.

Textes réunis par Joëlle Ducos et Christopher Lucken. Chanoine et chancelier de la cathédrale d’Amiens, chirurgien et probablement médecin, auteur d’une autobiographie astrologique et peut-être d’un traité d’alchimie, possible auteur du «De vetula» qui se fait passer pour l’oeuvre ultime d’Ovide, poète et écrivain, Richard de Fournival apparaît comme l’une des figures les plus révélatrices de la culture encyclopédique du XIIIe siècle. En témoigne tout particulièrement sa bibliothèque qu’il décrit dans la «Biblionomia» et qui apparaît comme une véritable synthèse des connaissances et des intérêts intellectuels de son temps. Réunissant les contributions de spécialistes des disciplines du «quadrivium», de la médecine, de l’astrologie et de l’alchimie, cet ouvrage se propose d’étudier les sciences telles qu’elles apparaissent dans les oeuvres et les entreprises de cet auteur majeur du XIIIe siècle tout en l’inscrivant dans le contexte scientifique de son temps.

Here is offered a detailed discussion of the supposed influence of Arabic and Hebrew maqamat and other works on the Spanish narrative poem by Juan Ruiz, Archpriest of Hita, entitled Libro de buen amor ( = Book of good love). A critical review of the sociolinguistic and cultural situation of the Christian Iberian Kingdoms during the 14th century allows to rise very important objections to those alleged influence and, in general, to the view of Medieval Iberia as a tolerant multicultural fluid where were not barriers between religious and linguistic communities.

A cura di Cecilia Panti e Nicola Polloni. The present volume collects twenty-eight original essays by colleagues and friends of Michela Pereira offered on the occasion of her seventieth birthday. As a pioneer of the re-evaluation of fundamental areas of the Western philosophical and scientific tradition, starting with alchemy, Michela Pereira has dedicated important studies to Hildegard of Bingen, Roger Bacon, Ramon Llull, in addition to being one of the most authoritative interpreters of the feminist movement in the modern world. «Seeing in the shadow», the title of this volume, recalls a suggestive image coined by Hildegard to establish a connection between the work of creation, human nature and prophetic knowledge, three contexts around which the interests of Michela Pereira turn. The essays of the volume interpret these topics in many thought-provoking ways. Covering a wide temporal arc, from late Antiquity to Early Modern Times, and ranging from alchemy and medicine to spirituality, prophecy and myth, from the body-soul relation to performative arts, such as theatre and music, they also include brief editions of unedited medieval texts and an updated bibliography of Michela Pereira’s publications.
