Abstract:

This book aims to contribute to the knowledge of the cultural and linguistic
relations between Italy and the Crown of Aragon in the 15th century. In
particular, it studies some relevant aspects of the chivalric romance entitled
"Curial e Guelfa", written in Italy around 1443-1448 in Catalan, but mainly
Italian in spirit, sources and onomastics. It is probably the very first work
of a genre known as “humanistic chivalry”, the epitome of which will be
Ariosto’s "Orlando furioso".

The literary context of Milan and Naples (The Three Crowns, Troubadour Lyrics,
Humanism) is analyzed in the first part of the volume.  It is this context
that made possible the gestation of the "Curial", an extraordinary anonymous
romance, which was most likely written by the knight Enyego d’Àvalos (Inico
d’Avalos), born in Toledo but raised in Valencia. The second part of the
volume is devoted to the study of some lexical, stylistic and syntactic
aspects of the "Curial", which show the author's excellent knowledge of
Catalan and the constant influence of Italian in the romance.

Questo libro si propone di contribuire alla conoscenza delle relazioni
culturali tra l'Italia e la Corona d’Aragona nel XV secolo. In particolare,
studia il romanzo dal titolo "Curial e Güelfa", scritto in Italia intorno al
1443-1448, dotato di italianità, fonti e onomastica, ma scritto in catalano. È
probabilmente la primissima opera di un genere noto come "cavalleria
umanistica" , la cui epitome sarebbe "l’Orlando Furioso" dell’Ariosto.

Questo volume analizza il contesto letterario di Milano e Napoli che ha reso
possibile questo straordinario romanzo anonimo, di cui conosciamo ormai con
quasi assoluta certezza che il suo autore era Enyego o Inico d'Avalos. I
contributi in questo volume approfondiscono alcuni degli aspetti lessicali,
stilistici e sintattici di Curial e Güelfa, e mettono in evidenza l'eccellente
conoscenza del catalano da parte del suo autore, nonché la presenza
onnipresente della lingua italiana.

El libro pretende contribuir al conocimiento de las relaciones culturales
entre Italia y la Corona de Aragón en el siglo XV. En concreto se ocupa de la
novela "Curial e Güelfa", gestada en Italia hacia 1443-1448, de espíritu,
fuentes y onomástica principalmente italianos, pero redactada en lengua
catalana. Es probablemente la manifestación más primeriza del género literario
conocido como “caballería humanística”, que tendrá su punto culminante con el
Orlando furioso, d’Ariosto.

Este volumen analiza el contexto literario de Milán y Nápoles que hizo posible
esta extraordinaria novela anónima, de la que ahora sabemos con casi absoluta
certeza que su autor fue Enyego o Inico d’Avalos. Las contribuciones de este
volumen profundizan en algunos de los aspectos léxicos, estilísticos y
sintácticos de Curial e Güelfa, y destacan el excelente conocimiento del
catalán de su autor, así como la presencia omnipresente de la lengua italiana.
