Abstract
During the fifteenth century, the Veneto region experienced an increase of eccentric and experimental literary movements, which spread across the province but rarely reached Venice itself. Among the few poetic voices of the capital, Andrea Michieli, known as “lo Strazzola” (d. 1510), stands out as the author of a notable collection of comic-satirical rhymes. His works, primarily preserved in manuscript alpha.G.6.13 at the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, were discovered in the late nineteenth century by Vittorio Rossi, though they were never published. This volume presents the first critical and annotated edition of Michieli’s complete works, introduced by an historical-literary preface, which includes a linguistic analysis and a study of the manuscript tradition. Strazzola’s rhymes not only reflect the forms and styles that Tuscan comic-satirical poetry took on in northern Italy at the end of the fifteenth century, but they also serve as a valuable testament to the Venetian poetic language of the late Quattrocento, offering insight into numerous contemporary Venetian events.
