It focuses on the lectures on the Sentences of Peter Lombard and the ordinary and quodlibetal disputations of 1295-1296, to which the laity had access as external auditors. Starting from the first cantos of the Inferno, the essay analyses the «second death» cried out by the damned, the concept of Purgatory as the place of «those who are content within the fire», the neutral angels (whose compatibility with contemporary theology is shown by the research, contrary to what has been believed), and the configuration of Limbo. The article compares Dante’s solutions with those proposed by Florentine theologians, revealing affinities and differences. It shows, on the one hand, that Dante was aware of the theology taught in the Florentine «scuole delli religiosi» and, on the other hand, that the poet handled his sources in an original way, presenting in poetry elements and places that the theology of the time did not actually consider. Keywords · Theology, Santa Croce, Intellectual Formation, Damnation, Purgatory, Neutral Angels, Limbo.

Dante explains his intention to send two sonnets he has already compos ed-"Deh peregrini " [Oh, pilgrims ] and "Venite a 'ntender" [Come listen]-and a new one "Oltre la sperà' [Beyond che sphere] to two "donne gentili" [two lovely women]. 1 In describin g his intention , the poet explicitly notes his desire to make a new ching: "Propuo si di mandare loro e di fare una cosa nuova ... acciò che più onorevo lmente adempies si li loro prieghi" (XLI. I (30. I]) [I decided to send some poems to chem and to compose somethin g new to more worthily satisfy their request], where "cosa nuovà' [somethi ng new], can referto a newly written poem as well as to che novelty of ics substanc e, making it unlike any work chat the poet had previously produced. Indeed, the resulting sonnet has five parts, che highest number of divisions of any sonnet in che Vìta nova, and Dante specifies chat the poem might be divided even further (XLI.9 (31.9]). In "Oltre la spera," Dante recounts che journey that a sigh ("pensero ," XLI.6 (30.6]) took from his heart to the Empyrea n, where it saw Beatrice. Tue sigh ascended so high into Beacrice's divine nature chat Dante's mind could not grasp what che sigh was telling his grieving heart, "cor dolente" (line I I), given chat che human intellect function s in the presence of the blessed souls ("benede tte anime") as the weak eye does in the presence of the sun ("si come l'occhio debole al 366 I ' !

The article then argues that, beginning in the Vita nova, Dante resemanticised commonplaces contemporaneously discussed and cited in these 'schools'. More precisely, it examines Dante's quotation of an Aristotelian sententia in VN XLI considering this quotation's use in the Santa Croce environment (including in Trabibus's disputations). This analysis helps show how Dante attempted to provide his prosimetrum with a specific theological substratum and chose to apply a theological concept discussed in the scholastic environment of Florence to a literary work in the vernacular.

Cachey Jr., Tracy Bergstrom e Natale Vacalebre. Per gli aspetti paleografici esprimo la mia gratitudine nei confronti di Teresa De Robertis e David Gura. Un ringraziamento speciale va ai bibliotecari del Department of Rare Books and Special Collection della University of Notre Dame, in particolare al mio amico James Cachey. Questo saggio è dedicato a lui. 2 A questo proposito, si vedano soprattutto gli studi di Natascia Bianchi, tra i quali si segnala Natascia BiaNchi, Le stampe dantesche postillate delle biblioteche fiorentine. 'Commedia' e 'Convivio' (1472-1596).

II.xiii, 11-12, brano in cui Dante, nel paragonare le scienze del trivium e del quadrivium ai cieli planetari, definisce la dialettica. La communis opinio vuole che Dante, per «dialettica», intenda la logica così come «compilata e terminata» nella Logica vetus et nova («Arte Vecchia e Nuova»), cioè nei libri dell’Organon aristotelico. In questo saggio si vaglierà invece la possibilità che Dante si stia riferendo a una sezione precisa dell’Organon, quella costituita dai Topici e dagli Elenchi, libri espressamente dedicati alla dialettica. Da una parte si fornirà un’analisi storico-linguistica del sintagma «in quello tanto testo che nell’Arte Vecchia e nella Nuova si truova». Dall’altra, si procurerà un’analisi di alcuni manoscritti logici fiorentini del tardo Duecento, e in particolare si analizzerà la disposizione dei testi della Logica vetus et nova in alcuni manoscritti appartenuti al fondo duecentesco di Santa Croce, mostrando come Topici ed Elenchi fossero effettivamente considerati un unico testo («quello tanto testo»). La precisa definizione di dialettica suggerisce, all’altezza del Convivio, la familiarità di Dante con la fisionomia materiale dei testi logici aristotelici.

Dai lavori primo-novecenteschi di Arnaldo Segarizzi e Francesco Novati fino alla recente antologia Stampa meretrx curata da Franco Pierno, si è potuto delineare una figura d’indubbio interesse nella storia della prima ricezione della stampa. Il presente lavoro integra il corpus del Da Strada con tre componimenti sconosciuti contro la stampa, rinvenuti nel cod. Lat. d. 5 University of Notre Dame, Hesburgh Library; dimostra l’autografia di questi e di altri testi latini e volgari del codice (tutti inediti) con un confronto con due autografi certi dell’autore, quali il Riccardiano 1213 e il Braidense AC.IX.34); ridiscute il valore della critica del domenicano nella storia della prima ricezione della stampa. In una prima parte il corpus di Stampa meretrix viene integrato con altri componimenti, già segnalati, dai codici della Biblioteca Marciana. In una seconda si pone all’attenzione il cod. Lat. d. 5, se ne procura una descrizione codicologica e se ne dimostra l’autografia; in una terza vengono proposti e commentati i tre componimenti inediti (due annotazioni in prosa e un componimento in terza rima); in una quarta parte l’attribuzione a Filippo, oltre che dall’autografia, viene supportata da argomenti interni ed esterni; in un’ultima, la critica del domenicano viene discussa e messa in rapporto alla polemica contro la stampa tra Quattro e Cinquecento: pur partendo da interessi personali, il Da Strada pone argomentazioni di tipo pedagogico, se non filologico: non solo, dunque, una critica contro i tipografi, fautori della scorrettezza dei testi, ma anche contro gli stessi caratteri a stampa (“le litre de stampa caliginose”), la cui lettura danneggerebbe l’educazione dei fanciulli.

It is well known the polemic against the Print Culture by Filippo da Strada, Dominican friar of second half of fifteenth cent. He was probably born in Pavia, but has worked in the Veneto area: he was a calligrapher, scribe, preacher, teacher and poet. It has been possible to identify a figure of great interest in the history of Print Culture thanks to early twentieth-century works by Arnaldo Segarizzi and Francesco Novati, until the recent anthology Stampa meretrix edited by Franco Pierno. Purposes of this article are: to integrate Filippo’s corpus with three unknown compositions against the Print Culture, found out in cod. Lat. d. 5, University of Notre Dame, Hesburgh Library; to demonstrate the authenticity of these texts and the other ones in the manuscript itself, still unpublished (vernacular poems and prose texts), by making a comparison with two certain autograph manuscripts by Filippo himself, such as Riccardiano 1213 and Braidense AC.IX.34; and finally to rediscuss the value of Filippo’s polemic in Print History. In the first part, I integrate Filippo’s corpus presented in Stampa meretrix with other compositions, already reported in Biblioteca Marciana codes. In the second part, I highlight the value of cod. Lat. d. 5, getting a paleographic description and demonstrating Filippo’s autography. In the third part, I propose and discuss three unpublished texts against the Print Culture (two prose texts and a poem). In the fourth part, the attribution to Filippo is more supported by internal and external reasons. In the last part, Filippo’s polemic is discussed and connected to the polemic against the Print Culture in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Although stimulated by personal interests, Filippo raises pedagogical issues against the Press: he just doesn’t criticize only the typographers, proponents of the impropriety of the texts, but also slates the same printed characters (“le litre de stampa caliginose”), the reading of which would harm the education of pupils.
Key words: Filippo da Strada – cod. Lat. d. 5 – autography – polemic against the Print Culture – polemic against typographers – Venice – second half of fifteenth cent. – Pedagogy.
