This project aims at the edition, study and interpretation of the
troubadour poetry written in the Crown of Aragon between the
14th and 15th centuries, with special attention to its reception
by a learned public of connoisseurs haunted by the myth of
courtly love and its associated culture in the late medieval
period. While Italy, France and the rest of the Iberian Peninsula
were already moving towards Humanism, in the Crown of
Aragon the prestige of the poetic universe created by the
troubadours managed to make its way into the 15th century,
and was adapted to new cultural fashions through a particular
process of appropriation and re-codification that is unique in
Europe. The purpose of this project is to enlarge and deepen
our knowledge of a linguistic and literary heritage that
functioned as a vertebrate agent in medieval aesthetics and
poetics and well into the Modern Age. By exploring the paths of
this re-codification process, working simultaneously at a
linguistic, literary and historical level, we will be able to grasp
new aspects of a canon that has been determinant in
subsequent artistic movements, namely Spanish Renaissance
poetry and the highly innovative discourse undertaken by the
Catalan poet Ausias March, through which the long autumn of
the Middle Ages is finally concluded, giving entrance to Modern
poetry in the Iberian peninsula. The project will thus inquire into
the question of how the aesthetic and linguistic code of the
troubadours shaped the mentality of courtly society,
establishing an intellectual and stylistic background in which the
literary culture of Europe is deeply rooted. Part of the results of
the research will be displayed in a critical digital edition, including
codicological, linguistic, literary and historical data that will make
the texts express themselves in order to permit a full
comprehension of the corpus considered.
