Distinctive Features

This paper proposes an excerpt of Bartolomeo da San Concordio’s commentary on the Poetria nova (vv. 1-263) on the basis of the two manuscripts that bequeath the work: the Casanatense 311 and the ms. New Haven, Yale University, Beinecke Rare Book Room and Manuscript Library, Osborn fa.6; the first one contains the exegetic text in its entirety, whereas the latter only the initial part. In this paper, the distinctive features of the commentary and the sources used by Bartolomeo are exposed. The potential similarities and relations with other ‘Italian’ coeval commentators of the Poetria nova – especially Guizzardo da Bologna – are examined in order to better define the cultural context in which Goffredo’s work was read and commented between the thirteenth and the fourteenth centuries in Italy.

Source Materials

This article deals with Hermann Broch (1886–1951) and Józef Wittlin (1896–1976), two writers born in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy who were formed or even stigmatized by the generational experience of World War I. They both struggled with the problem of the representation of the war in their main novels: Die Schlafwandler (Sleepwalker, 1930–32) and Sól ziemi (Salt of the Earth, 1935). The similarity between their protagonists is the starting point for an attempt to compare the biographies and literary works of the authors. The article is based on the source materials – the unpublished letters in German, exchanged between Broch and Wittlin during the years from 1945 to 1951. Their correspondence is stored in two literary archives: Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library (Yale, New Haven) and Houghton Library (Harvard, Cambridge).

“THE BEAUTY OF LIFE” : William Morris & the Art of Design was a visual delight. Curated by Dianne Waggoner, the exhibition originated at the Huntington Library and was first shown at the Yale Center for British Art, enriched by additions from the Yale Center for British Art, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, and the Yale University Library. For those who missed this Victorianists' treat at New Haven and San Marino, the fine catalog edited by Waggoner provides illustrations and detailed accounts of the items as well as perceptive critical essays.
