The canzone villanesca alla napolitana
The printed debut of the canzone villanesca alla napolitana occurred on 24 October 1537, in Naples. Fifteen anonymous 'rustic songs' were published by Johannes de Colonia in a pocket-sized anthology with a cover featuring three women with hoes tilling the soil. The adjective villanesca (from villano or peasant) in the strict sense of the word means rustic or crude, but in this new context it also intimates that Neapolitan poet-musicians had been affected by the instinctive lyrical traditions of everyday people. The articles in this volume trace the Neapolitan origins of this song form, and its subsequent development as it spread quickly throughout Italy in a succession of editions published in Venice and Rome, providing a diverse repertory of lively songs to amuse the privileged that held and attended academies. Several studies focus on key figures in this process, notably Ferrante Sanseverino, Prince of Salerno, and Orlando di Lasso. At the same time the author relates these developments to the contemporary political context, notably the rivalry of Spain and France for control of the Kingdom of Naples.
Benedetto Varchi's L' Ercolano
This is the first translation into any language of one of the most significant treatises of past centuries, Benedetto Varchi’s L’Ercolano (1570). It is designed for anyone curious about what ideas on language were popular in the past. As is true today, people in the sixteenth century had very definite opinions on this unique human characteristic. Varchi’s work, in the form of a lively dialogue, explores such questions as whether we are the only species possessing the ability to communicate; what the oldest variety of speech may have been; and how best to learn a foreign tongue. Another topic important at that time was how to deal with the decline of Latin as a universal language among the educated, and the search for the most suitable Italian dialect to replace it. This brief volume sparkles with the author’s wit, and makes for quite informative and highly entertaining reading.
