Questioni di filologia delle strutture: sondaggi sulle "Rime" di Dante

This article takes into account the macrostructure of Dante's "Rime" - more specifically, the series of the canzoni - providing a deep insight into both the manuscript tradition and the critical editions by M. Barbi (including the "selected-poems" edition by G. Contini) and D. De Robertis. On the one hand, the analysis focuses on the divergent sequences of the canzoni testified by groups g and b (which have been fixed in De Robertis' edition); on the other hand, the examination of De Robertis' collation suggests that group b may be connected by some errors to other groups, evoking thus a possible contamination. Therefore, the very order of the poems could be regarded as the major innovation of b: Giovanni Boccaccio himself may be claimed responsible for that, according to some evidence from paratextual apparatus in Boccaccio's autographs and in other codices, and the hypothesis of the perfect coincidence between the seriation of the canzoni and the possible structure of the "Convivio". This kind of analysis will be pursued on the ancient and paratextually well-fixed seriation of the group g.
