Suggestioni cortesi ed elementi di letteratura cavalleresca nelle ballate del Pecorone
Abstract
In his Pecorone, especially within the twenty-five ballads, Ser Giovanni brings together a significant and intricate array of courtly and chivalric literary elements. This essay recognizes the influence of models derived from Boccaccio’s Decameron while also exploring the innovative contributions made by the author of Pecorone. Through a meticulous analysis of selected ballads, this paper illustrates how Ser Giovanni possessed both a profound understanding of themes and texts specific to French literature and a distinct compositional ingeniousness, which enabled him to create an original blend of poetic elements drawing on a variety of traditions.
