O surgimento do soneto como forma literária remonta ao século XIII, período em que, ao sul da Itália, nomeadamente a região da Sicília, era larga a influência da lírica de origem provençal. De apelo matemático, a invenção do soneto é atribuída a Giacomo da Lentini, chefe da escola siciliana do Sacro Imperador Romano Frederico II. O presente texto tem como objetivo principal a justaposição de duas poéticas, a do português Daniel Jonas e a do brasileiro Paulo Henriques Britto, de modo a fazer ressaltar as distinções no tratamento metapoético dispensado ao soneto e a outras formas que dele derivam.

Giacomo da Lentini was the central figure in the formation of the Sicilian school of poetry in the early 13th century at the court of Frederick II. He is plausibly considered to be the inventor of the sonnet and his poetic corpus of sixteen canzoni, twenty-two sonnets, and a discordo amounts to by far the most numerous of any poet associated with Frederick’s court. We might thus say that he is the first major lyric poet of the Italian vernacular tradition. Giacomo demonstrates the influence of the earlier Occitan poetry of courtly love in his borrowings of themes, technical vocabulary, and metrical forms; he also innovates considerably in experimenting with the new sonnet form and crafts a refined poetry that actively distills the intellectual culture of Frederick’s court by way of similes that open up his love poems to science, philosophy, and politics. Giacomo’s influence on the subsequent developments of Italian poetry can be widely felt and perhaps most easily perceived in Dante Alighieri’s mention of him as an illustrious poet in his treatise on vernacular eloquence, De vulgari eloquentia, as well as his occupying the prime position of founding father in the poetic genealogy of Purgatorio 24.
