Prose della volgar lingua (1525) , Gli Asolani (1505) , and Rime reflect his advocacy for elegant, Tuscan-based literary Italian. This edition, edited by Carlo Dionisotti, brings together Bembo’s influential writings on language, love, and poetry. ; 13cm x 20.9cm x 4cm ; 731 pages; Pietro Bembo’s Prose della volgar lingua, Gli Asolani, and Rime are foundational works of the Italian Renaissance that helped define the literary use of the Italian language. Prose della volgar lingua (1525) is a dialogue that argues for the use of refined Tuscan—based on Petrarch and Boccaccio—as the model for literary Italian, setting the stage for future standardisation of the language. Gli Asolani (1505) is a philosophical dialogue on love, set at the court of Asolo, exploring its pains and joys through a blend of Neoplatonism and courtly elegance. Rime is a collection of Petrarchan-style lyric poetry, focused on idealised love and formal perfection, demonstrating Bembo’s aesthetic and linguistic ideals in practice. Together, these works establish Bembo as a leading architect of Italian literary culture.. Very Good with no dust jacket .
