The thorns of grammar: a difficult "iunctura" in Fortunio’s "Regole della volgar lingua"

Abstract

A place in the first book of the princeps edition of Fortunio’s Regole, in the section entitled to relative and interrogative pronouns, lends itself to a reading that differs from the generally accepted one. In this paper, we describe it and take into consideration some reasons that could support it.
