Abstract

«Nam quae indotata est, ea in potestate est viri». La Griselda di Iacopo Mazza
The article deals with the rewriting by Iacopo Mazza, and observant Franciscan of Boccaccio’s famous novella about Griselda. Through the mediation of the Augustinian Iacopo Filippo Foresti, Mazza uses the story of the patient girl to show the potential damage of a different social status between a husband and wife. The rewriting amounts therefore to a resemantisation of the source text from a sociological point of view.
