Citazioni in cornice. Autori visibili e autori invisibili nel novelliere di Niccolò Granucci

Abstract

The paper examines the use of quotes in the collection of tales "La piacevol notte e ’l lieto giorno" (1574) by Niccolò Granucci. The author spans from direct references, often from poetic texts, to rewritings of well-known authors (Ariosto, Boccaccio, Castiglione). There are also some deceptive quotations, whose paternity is consciously misleading. The peculiar way of quoting depends on Granucci’s perception of his sources, which include high literature as well as excerpts merely considered as working materials.
