Starting from the study of the novel I 4 of the Decameron (the one in which an abbot forgives the lust of a young monk, because he surprised him committing the same sin), the author identifies, in the Romance literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, two basic narrative models: that of the aforementioned novel ((De l’evesque qui beneï lo con; Novellino, LIV and Deca-meron I 4 and IX 2); and the one, in some respects similar, in which a holy man mocks the bourgeois or the peasant of whose wife he is the lover (De-cameron, III 4, VII 3, IX 10; Sacchetti, Trecentonovelle, 207; Poggio Braccioli-ni, Liber facetiarum, 203; Masuccio, Novellino, I 3). In both models there may be the motif of the “priest’s breeches”, but in the second it acquires the to-nes of “mockery” that are missing in the first.
Partendo dallo studio della novella I 4 del Decameron (quella in cui un abate perdona la lussuria di un giovane monaco, perché questi l’ha sorpreso commettere lo stesso peccato), l’autore individua, nella letteratura romanza del Medio Evo e del Rinascimento, due modelli narrativi di base: quello della citata novella (De l’evesque qui beneï lo con; Novellino, LIV e Decameron I 4 e IX 2); e quello, per certi aspetti affine, in cui un religioso beffa il borghese o il villa-no della cui moglie è l’amante (Decameron, III 4, VII 3, IX 10; Sacchetti, Trecen-tonovelle, 207; Poggio Bracciolini, Liber facetiarum, 203; Masuccio, Novellino, I 3). In entrambi i modelli può trovarsi il motivo delle “brache del prete”, ma nel secondo acquista i toni di “beffa” che mancano nel primo.

Abstract
Starting from the study of the novel I 4 of the Decameron (the one in which an abbot forgives the lust of a young monk, because he surprised him committing the same sin), the author identifies, in the Romance literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, two basic narrative models: that of the aforementioned novel ((De l’evesque qui beneï lo con; Novellino, LIV and Deca-meron I 4 and IX 2); and the one, in some respects similar, in which a holy man mocks the bourgeois or the peasant of whose wife he is the lover (De-cameron, III 4, VII 3, IX 10; Sacchetti, Trecentonovelle, 207; Poggio Braccioli-ni, Liber facetiarum, 203; Masuccio, Novellino, I 3). In both models there may be the motif of the “priest’s breeches”, but in the second it acquires the to-nes of “mockery” that are missing in the first.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
