Reconstructing ‘Tenzoni’ (with a reconstructed tenzone between Antonio degli Alberti and Alberto degli Albizzi)

Abstract

After a foreword on the study of poetic tenzoni in xiii^th and xiv^th centuries, I focus on a few cases of scattered or wrongly reconstructed tenzoni: (1) an exchange between Meo Abbracciavacca and Dotto Reali, and their appendices (xiii^th Century); (2) an exchange between Antonio degli Alberti and Alberto degli Albizzi (xiv^th Century); (3) an exchange between Panuccio dal Bagno and Pucciandone Martelli (xiii^th Century).
