PlaceMenu("boundmenu") Benvenuti Giovedi 22 Settembre 2005 18:02 (Ora Italiana) 13th and 14th Centuries Italian Literature, literature written in the Italian language from about the 13th century to the present. Middle Ages 13th and Early 14th Centuries Meanwhile another native, original type of poetry had appeared, a devotional poetry inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, whose Canto dell' amore (Canticle of Creatures) sings of love for all of God's creation rather than for any single human being. The same feeling was expressed in a collection of legends in verse, Fioretti (Little Flowers), based on the life of St. Francis. Other Franciscan poets followed in the 13th century, among them a poet with a Dantesque imagination, Jacopone da Todi, among whose beautiful hymns are the famous "Our Lady of the Passion" and "Stabat Mater." Dante is one of the great figures of world literature. He is remarkable for the loftiness of his thought, the vividness and fluency of his verse, and the boldness of his imagination. He was one of the founders of Italian literature through his use of the vernacular for some of his greatest works. About 1304 he wrote in Latin De Vulgari Eloquentia (Concerning the Common Speech), in which he advocated the use of Italian as a literary language.

CICDC - Home of the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan Italian Literature Origins and Development The modern language of Italy is naturally derived from Latin, a continuation and development of the Latin actually spoken among the inhabitants of the peninsula after the downfall of the Roman Empire. It is still disputed how far this spoken Latin was identical with the classical literary language of Rome, the Latinus togatus, and how far it was a merely popular tongue, the sermo rusticus. Crusades and through commerce; the Saracenic In the "De Vulgari Eloquentia" (i, 10-16), Dante speaks of the "many discordant varieties of the Italian vernacular", and rejects them all in favour of the "illustrious, cardinal, courtly, and curial vernacular in Italy", the standard and ideal national language, "which belongs to every city of Italy, and seems to belong to none, and by which all the municipal dialects of the Italians are measured, weighed and compared". These dialects fall into three groups: (1) Ligurian, Piedmontese, Lombard and Emilian, and Sardinian, which form a Gallo-Italian group apart from the vernacular of the rest of the peninsula;

ITALIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE CLASSICAL LATIN The Roman Empire, the most far-flung of the ancient world, was populated by around 80 million people, roughly half of whom spoke Latin: no other antique language was as widespread or important. The language spoken in Rome was the model for the other regions of the Empire and by the time of Julius and Augustus Caesar (60 B.C. - 15 A.D.), through writers like Cicero, Sallust, Virgil and Horace, it had developed fixed rules (of grammar, syntax and meaning) which were held to be perfect. After the fall of the Roman Empire, this "classic" Latin remained a fundamental means of communication between nations and scholars, as well as becoming the language of the Church. THE RISE OF ROMANCE LANGUAGES AND THE FORMATION OF ITALIAN DIALECTS When the Roman Empire fell (476 A.D.), it was replaced by new Roman-Barbarian kingdoms and Classical and spoken Latin were permanently divided. The former remained unchanged, used only in texts or by an educated elite whilst the spoken form was used by millions of people in their daily lives and thus came into contact with the languages of the Germanic invaders and was developed into different tongues. In this way were born the Romance languages. In Italy, the use of Latin as the single language gradually faded to be replaced by numerous dialects: the "vernacular" which varied from region to region. THE FIRST APPEARANCES OF THE VERNACULAR IN LITERATURE The vernacular first appears in literature in the poetry of the 13th century with the Sicilian, Tuscan and "Stil novo" poets who employed a refined lexicon. The shift to the use of the vernacular made possible a set of specific rules and forms thereby removed from the vicissitudes of the spoken language. At the same time it became possible to refine linguistic expression by toning down the rougher local dialects. Later, the great Tuscan writers of the 13th and 14th centuries, Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, made a fundamental contribution by writing a literary language that would be the model for succeeding centuries.

19. La Ienti De Sion Scholarly paper examining the Judeoitalian literature of the Middle Ages. http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Library/8945/kinah.html

La Ienti de Sion: Linguistic and Cultural Legacy of an Early Thirteenth-Century Judeo-Italian Kinah Italica 75 1 Spring (1998): 1-21 Joseph Abraham Levi The University of Iowa © Joseph Abraham Levi and ITALICA This study focuses on Medieval Italian Jewry and, in particular, on a specific aspect of Italian Jewry: the Kinah. The reason for such a choice is that the Kinah is one of the first recorded literary manifestations of the Jewish communities residing in Italy. The Kinah, also known as Judeo-Italian Elegy, was written in one of the many Italian dialects, but in Hebrew characters. It was part of the religious services during the fast of the ninth day of the month of Av. My analysis concentrates on both the literary and the linguistic aspects of the Elegy, analyzing the language, the contents, and the style. However, for the sake of clarity, some of the main historical, political, and social events of Medieval Europe are here introduced, calling upon those motives and traditions that could better explain the cultural legacy of Italian Jewry. The People of Zion on Italian Soil: From Early Presence to the Middle Ages Italian Jewry has often, and rightfully so, been considered the oldest Jewish community of the Western world, as Jewish presence in Italy has been continuous for over two millennia.
