Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 4/25/22 Etwas altmodisch und in der Dialogform deshalb schwer zu lesen, aber dafür, dass das Original erstmalig 1528 veröffentlicht wurde, ist es teilweise immer noch erstaunlich aktuell. Zum Beispiel gibt es ein interessantes Zwiegespräch zur Gleichberechtigung der Frau, dass erstaunlicherweise pro Gleichberechtigung endet. Dass Tjostieren heute nicht mehr so wichtig ist, überrascht stattdessen kaum. Kurzum - alles was man schon immer über Grandezza wissen sollte! "Dort sei man die wahre Kunst, wo man die Kunst nicht sieht!" Dentro del género de "espejo de príncipes", tan característico del Renacimiento europeo, este es quizá el mejor, o al menos de los mejores. No tanto por el contenido en sí, un tanto tópico, sino por la forma y por los aditamentos. Toma su idea general de las "jornadas", es decir, de las reuniones de jóvenes cultos y desocupados que se dedican a contarse historias durante varios días. Aquí es un grupo de nobles, alrededor de la duquesa de Urbino, que se reunen por la noche y, para distraerse, proponen hablar sobre lo que debe tener el perfecto cortesano. Cada noche, uno de ellos deberá llevar la voz cantante, pero cualquiera podrá interrumpirle en cualquier momento, bajo la moderación de una de las damas de la duquesa. El eco del "Decamerón" es evidente, y, de hecho, Bocaccio es citado de forma repetida durante toda la obra. Lo mejor es que todos parecen hablar con bastante libertad pero con educación y efectivamente abundan las interrupciones, los cambios de tema, las digresiones e incluso las esgrimas verbales entre los participantes. Y se habla de muchas cosas: de política, por supuesto, pero también de estética, de moral y religión (de esto último, solo un poco, para evitar problemas), de psicología... Por cierto que se le dedica toda una jornada a la "controversia de las mujeres", asunto en el que se llega a enfrentamientos muy directos entre los partidarios de la igualdad de los sexos y los partidarios de la inferioridad femenina. Pero los monólogos son constantemente interrumpidos por conversaciones rápidas, comentarios marginales, chismorreos y hasta chistes (se dedica también amplio espacio a tratar muy seriamente del uso de los chistes en política, pelota a seguir). Incluso se baila y se toca música. Estas veladas debieron ser de lo más distraídas. No obstante, este libro se me ha hecho más difícil de lo esperado. Tiene que ver la impresión de esta edición, en letra muy pequeña (engañan las 350 páginas) y escaso margen, y quizá las circunstancias de mi lectura. Pero, pese a todos los muy loables esfuerzos del autor, lo cierto es que no acabé de cogerle el tranquillo a este libro. Todavía no sé por qué. It's difficult to read because the sentences are excessively elegant and artificially pleasing. After several failed attempts I began to read aloud and then I was able to break through to the style and demeanor of the author and subject. It is divided into 4 books were members of the court of Urbino discuss the qualities that make for a successful courtier. Some, but not all of the qualities are ability to dance, play an instrument, give good advice to the Prince, compete in mock battles, and compete in real battles. The second book is full of short entertaining stories that they find amusing. Occasionally they are funny and the stories are a good representation of comedy in the 1500s. There are many examples of poor behavior and what the courtier should avoid. There are examples of a successful female in court and how she should behave. One gentleman criticises women. His criticisms are valid and and he is fiercely scolded. I suspect the author included the excoriation in order to please his female readers. The last book concerns love and raises the discourse to a lofty level concerning the value of love.
In the Cinquecento a genre of courtesy literature developed and resulted in the publication of a number of books of advice on the behaviour of men and women. The best-known book of this genre is Il Libro del Cortegiano by Count Baldassare Castiglione(1478–1529). The book consists of a series of fictional conversations by courtiers of Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, that took place in 1507, while Castiglione was himself serving as attaché to the Duke. Castiglione, who was painted by Raphael, was an Italian diplomat and writer who throughout his life held a number of posts in the great courts of Italy and Spain It was upon his observations of courtly life that he based his book, first published in Italian in 1528, and translated into English as The Courtier by Sir Thomas Hoby in 1561. It is written in the form of a dialogue, and is a treatise on the accomplishments and code of behaviour essential for the ideal male and female courtier. The book was translated into several European languages and became a primer of aristocratic manners, influencing Renaissance nobility and writers throughout Europe, including, notably, the English courtier-poet Sir Philip Sidney. Apart from its importance as a practical book of etiquette, Cortegiano is a record of an important period in Renaissance civilization. Appartiene alle Collane EditorialiElenchi di rilievo
Il "Cortegiano" è stato un libro "europeo", uno dei pochi della tradizione letteraria italiana a conquistare una presenza forte e stabile, e soprattutto profonda, nella cultura delle società dell'ancien régime. Si intreccia stretamente con la storia della cultura occidentale, anzi partecipa alla costruzione della su "forma", del suo modello, della sua immagine pubblica. Questo è un testo problematico, percorso da inquietudini e reticenza, risultato di continue riscritture tra il 1513 e il 1518 e di tormentate stratificazioni: eppure diventa la grammatica fondamentale della società di corte fino alla Rivoluzione Francese e oltre, con gli opportuni adattamenti al nuovo ordine borghese.
