The literature of the fifteenth century is characterized by the second shot from the authors of this current use of the vernacular, with the intent to elevate the level of perfection of the classical languages. The vulgar language is indeed the favorite of the three pillars of the pre-humanist literature: Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, are also considered, like the authors classical antiquity, as models to imitate. The largest of these authors is considered Angelo Poliziano, the poet who, in a perspective of research and refinement solitary individual aspires to the formal perfection of the works, which is reflected in the players, such as achieving a perfect psychological and moral edification.
The rooms for the tournament, a famous opera composed by the police during the tournament organized by Lorenzo the Magnificent (police were among the artists of the Medici circle), sum up the literary trends of the period in question.
was customary among the artists use the octave, metrical pattern typical of romances, in compositions that have the order to celebrate games and competitions. The rooms for the tournament, in fact, takes as its compositional scheme Poliziano the eighth, the meter is already being used by Boccaccio in Philostratus. In this regard, Ghini Ghini (author of the book "The vernacular literature in the fifteenth and the Stanze of Poliziano") thought that the police operation as the eighth choice of metrical pattern, arguing that these are home to content that is not strictly narrative, but not entirely celebratory, as would have been if he had indulged the intention with which the work comes to life. According to the
Ghinassi, the work "has its center where the poet had indicated their intention to place it" because the police have neglected aspect encomiastic only announced in the incipit of the rooms, "your brother sing the glorious trophy that makes clear the blood and Julio second branch." The content that instead the emphasis is, by virtue of his literary taste of freedom in composing, are "materials that attracted his taste, that is, all those issues that have come pre-humanist: the rooms are influenced by Petrarch, and there are clear references to the themes of Stilnovo.
In the first book of rooms, Cupid falls in love revenge for Julio, a young dedicated exclusively to hunting and contemptuous of love, Simonetta woman who at first appears in a forest in the guise of a white doe. The detail of the woman who looks like white deer was taken by police from a sonnet of the Canzoniere: "A white deer on the grass-green appeared to me ...." The reference to the compositions of Petrarch was also found in the room where the woman is photographed sitting in the grass (the vegetables, a term that appears in stilnovisti Guinizzelli) this way: "As first youths betook care / somewhat timidly raised her head / then up the hem of her white hand, / levossi foot in a womb filled with flowers. " It looks like the same woman portrayed by Petrarch in the song "Clear, fresh and sweet water "," From 'be' descended branches / (sweet memory) / a rain of flowers 'over' l her womb; ".
The way in which it occurs in approach between the two young men, the type of questions put to Julius Simon, recall the Homeric model of the encounter between Odysseus and Nausicaa in the land of the Phoenicians: the sixth part of the Odyssey, Odysseus speaks in this way: "I bow down, lady: you are mortal or goddess?" is the same question that at first glance also invests Julius "- or whatever you are, sovereign virgin / nymph or goddess (but m'assembri some goddess) ... "She also goes in the company of honesty and kindness, stilnovisti founding values \u200b\u200bof the universe, which are personified in agreement with the theory of Platonic ideas, the thinkers of the second resumed fifteenth century, Marsilio Ficino in particular, that the poet was a student during the university studies.
Taking note of the octaves like that make the rooms are a real container issues and the reworking of material from the literary past, is the argument of justifiable Ghinassi. You can not say that the rooms are within the canons of a particular literary genre, it is certain that on the contrary, they represent much more than an expression of culture and taste for the writer, inspired by the ideal in this of docta varietas, regarded as the most marked character of its entire production.
