The lyric poetry produced by the Occitan troubadours between the 12th and 13th centuries is at the root of the European poetic tradition. Despite its importance, it was mostly disregarded throughout Europe between the late 14th and 15th century. The situation changed when Italian scholars rediscovered it at the beginning of the following century. The rediscovery of Occitan in Renaissance Italy has received some attention in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and found systematisation in a fundamental 1911 monograph by Santorre Debenedetti, after which there have been multiple contributions to the theme which explored aspects that he neglected. No new monographs have been produced, however. The principal aim of my work is precisely to produce a new monograph on the Cinquecento rediscovery of Occitan, studying it in the context of the century's linguistic debate, known as Questione della lingua. By adopting this point of view, I hope to address a research question that Debenedetti leaves unanswered, namely, if - as he rightly says - the scholars that rediscovered Occitan worked in isolation from one another and proved unable to cooperate, then how is it possible that they all focused their attention on the same subject at the same time? The intellectuals that will be studied include: Angelo Colocci, Pietro Bembo, Benedetto Varchi, Lodovico Castelvetro, and Giammaria Barbieri. The thesis will explore the relevance and significance of the fact all these scholars were at the same time at the forefront of the Questione and of the recovery of the troubadours. The study is also intended to update Debenedetti's 1911 study, since, as well as incorporating the conclusions of more recent scholarship, it adopts a new approach that is attentive to both the Italian language question and to questions of chronology. As an appendix to the thesis (but also a further major aim for the research), I will edit the unfinished treatise Arte del rimare written by Giammaria Barbieri in the 1570s, in which the Occitan studies of the century reach their culmination.The thesis itself will reassess the existing bibliography and the works of the scholars involved in order to probe how their work on the troubadours intersected with their discussion of the Questione. During the first year, I have focused on one of the very first contributors to the Questione, Angelo Colocci, who was also the first Italian in the century to come into possession of a troubadour manuscript. Colocci used the manuscript to learn its forgotten language, and once he had mastered it to some extent, he began identifying linguistic and literary similarities between Occitan and other Romance languages and literatures. This led him to perceive Romance medieval poetry as a unity and to develop a 'comparative method' not dissimilar from the one that characterises contemporary Romance philology and linguistics. Colocci's perception of these connections between different linguistic domains led him to develop a linguistic theory that actively encouraged recourse to other languages as a means to enrich one's own. Thus, Colocci's case offers an excellent example of how troubadour poetry was used as a source to justify one's theoretical positions in the Questione. Similar studies will be undertaken for the other figures listed above.For the edition, I will use the methods of authorial philology and genetic criticism in order to reconstruct the various phases of Barbieri's work on his book. For missing leaves in the extant manuscripts, I will have to rely on the only existing edition of the work, a 1790 print dating to before the pages went missing. For the parts that only survive in the print, I will adopt the reconstructive methods of traditional philology. So far, I have transcribed the entirety of the original manuscripts in Bologna thanks to a travel grant from Oxford University, and I have done the same with an exemplar of the 1790 print kept at the Taylorian library.

欧西坦吟游诗人在12至13世纪创作的抒情诗是欧洲诗歌传统的根源。尽管它很重要，但在14世纪末到15世纪之间，它在整个欧洲几乎被忽视了。当意大利学者在下个世纪初重新发现它时，情况发生了变化。欧西坦在意大利文艺复兴时期的重新发现在19世纪末和20世纪初受到了一些关注，并在1911年由桑托雷·德贝内代蒂（Santorre Debenedetti）撰写的一本基本专著中找到了系统化，此后对这一主题的多种贡献探索了他所忽视的方面。然而，没有新的专著问世。我工作的主要目的，正是要写出一本关于奥克西坦语在五十周年后重新发现的新专著，在这个世纪被称为“语言问题”（Questione della lingua）的语言学辩论的背景下研究它。通过采用这一观点，我希望解决德贝内代蒂没有回答的一个研究问题，即，如果——正如他正确地说的那样——重新发现奥克西坦的学者们彼此孤立地工作，并且被证明无法合作，那么他们怎么可能同时把注意力集中在同一个主题上呢？将要研究的知识分子包括：Angelo Colocci， Pietro benmbo, Benedetto Varchi， Lodovico Castelvetro和Giammaria Barbieri。本文将探讨这些学者同时站在问题的最前沿和游吟诗人的复苏这一事实的相关性和意义。这项研究还旨在更新Debenedetti 1911年的研究，因为它在纳入更近期的学术结论的同时，采用了一种新的方法，既关注意大利语问题，也关注年代学问题。作为论文的附录（也是研究的进一步主要目标），我将编辑Giammaria Barbieri在16世纪70年代撰写的未完成的论文Arte del rimare，其中欧西坦研究达到了顶峰。论文本身将重新评估现有的参考书目和相关学者的作品，以探索他们对行吟诗人的研究如何与他们对这个问题的讨论相交叉。第一年，我把注意力集中在《问题》的第一批撰稿人之一安吉洛·科洛奇（Angelo Colocci）身上，他也是本世纪第一个拥有吟游诗人手稿的意大利人。柯洛奇用手稿学习被遗忘的语言，当他掌握了某种程度的语言后，他开始发现奥西坦语言和其他罗曼语文学在语言和文学上的相似之处。这使他认识到中世纪浪漫诗歌是一个整体，并发展了一种“比较方法”，与当代浪漫语言学和语言学的特点没有什么不同。柯洛奇对不同语言领域之间的联系的认识使他发展了一种语言理论，积极鼓励人们利用其他语言作为丰富自己语言的手段。因此，Colocci的案例提供了一个很好的例子，说明游吟诗人诗歌是如何被用作证明一个人在问题中的理论立场的来源的。将对上面列出的其他数字进行类似的研究。在这个版本中，我将使用作者文献学和遗传批评的方法来重建巴比里在他的书中工作的各个阶段。对于现存手稿中缺失的书页，我将不得不依靠这部作品唯一现存的版本，1790年的印刷版本，可追溯到书页丢失之前。对于只存在于印刷品中的部分，我将采用传统文字学的重构方法。到目前为止，在牛津大学的旅行资助下，我已经在博洛尼亚转录了全部的原始手稿，我也对保存在泰勒里安图书馆的1790年印刷的样本做了同样的工作。
