Description
This study focuses on the dialogue in which Boccaccio engages with Petrarch's philological masterpiece, the reconstruction and dissemination of the text of Livy's History of Rome, through the Introduction to the Decameron and the Prologue to his translation of Livy's fourth Decade. It studies Boccaccio's emphasis on rhetoric as mediation between Petrarch's notion of philological discontinuity and Dante's opposite idea of typological continuity with classical culture. **********
