PRIMI ACCERTAMENTI PER L’EDIZIONE DELLE “FIAMME”

First findings as for the «Fiamme» edition. The Giovan Battista Giraldi Cinthio’s Fiamme is not an extemporary book of poetry constructed in a short time, but a lucid and thoughtful “canzoniere” (organic collection of poetry) that slowly takes shape in the footsteps of Bembian Petrarchism and arrives late at print in the mid16th century. The essay considers manuscripts and printed sources of Giraldi’s lyric writing to outline the history of the text of the Fiamme as a premise for a critical and annotated edition.
