L'éros
nelle declamazioni latine (una pozione di
contro-amore)
Title in English: Eros
in Latin declamations (a potion of anti-love)
Abstract
Among the famous XIX Declamations Maiores
from the pseudo-Quintilian the XIV and the
XV deal with a case of «odi potio»
apparently unique in Latin literature, though
rich in instances of love philtres and troubled
loves, especially in the theatre, that is
often a source of subjects for the genre of
the declamation. Written in a tolerant pagan
environment, i.e. the one of the schola
of the forum traiani of Ierus
and Dracontius, these declamations show the
possibility of a happy encounter between the
fields of law and rhetoric which is able to
manipulate their traditional categories, though
preserving the subtle psychological character
of a very human case.
Keywords : eros, Latin declamations,
rhetorique, odi potio

Inseguire
e fuggire, in guerra e in amore
Title in English: Flight
and pursuing, in war and in love
Abstract
The Delphic oracle t??sa? O?seta? can apply
to erotic sphere on account of a language
shared by war and love since the origins of
Greek literature; the lyric poetry draws from
epic poetry the words of the «battle»
and the physical symptoms of desire mingles
with fear, but epic had already sung the duel
with erotic terms. Following the history of
an unusual Iliadic simile (Il. XXI 199-201),
we can see that, from the Iliad to Vergil,
Chrétien de Troyes, Tasso, frustration
is the predominant feature in decisive duels
as in love affairs: nobody can get what he
wants (glory or an object of love) forever,
that is to say that nobody can get immortality.
The revival of the same simile in philosophical
contexts shows that the frustration is a major
feature of Socratic dialogue, a very particular
intercourse in which the interlocutor is confused,
in aporia, and Socrates plays the role of
the pharmakon itself.
Keywords : poursuit, Socratic
dialogue, Homer, Greek literature

Metamorfosi
dell'hereos. Fonti medievalidella psicofisiologia

Title in English: Metamorphoses
of hereos. Medieval sources of love disease
psychophysiology in the Modern Age (XVI-XVII)
Abstract
Issued from Latin translations of medical
treatises of the Middle Ages, where the Aristotelic
medical traditon on melancholy meets the Platonic
tradition about eros,the conceit of hereos
becomes a very important issue in the
following centuries as a physiological pathology,
often confused with melacholy, both afflicting
human humours. If the tradition recommended
to heal the hereos by allopathy
with Paracelsus and the reject of the Galenic-Hyppocratic
medical tradition hereos becomes
a disease of imagination, to cure by the imposition
of order in sexual life and by refusing otium
, following a moral concern, unknown
to the Ancients, that becomes more and more
powerful during the XVII century with Counter-Reformation
and Puritanism.

Un caso di
violenza di genere: la «ninfa degollada»
di Garcilaso de la Vega (Églogas, III)
Title in English: A case of gender violence:
the «ninfa degollada» de Garcilaso
de la Vega (Églogas, III)
Abstract
The third eclogue of Garcilaso de la Vega
presents, the theme of the death of the beloved
lady, that appears in the Italian literature
with Dante, through the image of throat cutting
taken from the Ovidian Metamorphoses .
In his poetry the substitution of this theme
with the one of the poet's own death marks
a detachment from the medical tradition of
the symptoms of the herois , the
love disease, attested in the work of the
Catalan physician Arnau de Villanueva. This
substitution corresponds to the substitution
of grief with a form of melancholy, that would
make possible the lyrical expression of the
tension caused by the sentiment of lack, following
the idea proposed by Freud in his essay Grief
and melancholy.
Keywords : Garcilaso de la
Vega , Dante, struggle, throat cutting.

Le mal et

dans deux réécritures françaises
de l'Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
Title in English: The
evil and its remedy: love paroxysms in two
French rewrintings of the Hypenorotomachia
Poliphili
Abstract
Between 1540 and 1550 France is «invaded»
by Italian or Italian-style novels, bringing
with them a change in the way of dealing with
and representing love passion in fictional
writing. Through the analysis of two French
transpositions oh the Hypnerotomachia
Polyphili of Francesco Colonna it is
possible to underline the emergence of a new
aesthetics of love, that rejects courtly and
chivalry traditions as well as allegorical
representation in favour of a more earthly
and realistic passion, in which the opposites
meet and the plague of love is healed «by
iron, fire and poison» following Ariosto's
lesson.

La hache
de Ronsard et la lance d'Achille, ou l'ulcère
téléphien
Title in English: Ronsard's
axe and Achiless' lance, or the Telephian
ulcer
Abstract
In the Greek myth the lance of Achilles which
has hurt Telephus, is also the only instrument
that can heal him. This kind of homeopathic
remedy to the wound presents an erotic aspect
that the poets preserve through the centuries
until the modern age: starting from Macedonius,
Ovide and Propertius the couple Telephus-Achilles
becomes emblematic of the lovers' couple,
subject to modifications that make it more
suitable to express the author's exigences.
Thus, for instance, the figure of Achilles
overlaps with that of Christ in Ariosto, while
the «castration» of Achilles'
lance in an axe in Ronsard's seems to veil
the homosexual love and to celebrate it at
the same time.
Keywords : lance, axe, Ronsard,
Achilles, Telephus

Quand la
maladie d'amour devient hystérie: le
tournant de l'âge classique
Title in English: When
the love disease becomes hysteria: the turning
of the Classical Age
Abstract
The XVI century marks a change in the attitude
towards love passion, as testified in moral
treatises and in medical essays. Love passion
has always been looked at as a manifestation
of an evil, nocturnal spirit, following the
idea of a correspondance between macrocosm
and human microcosm. During the XVI century
this vision is rejected in favour of a more
«rational» treatment of love passion,
that is now more frequently associated with
the notion of «hysteria», a trouble
concerning brains and blood more than uterus,
marking a passage in the medical tradition
involved in the larger frame of progressive
moral control on society achieved through
moral reformation.
Keywords : Classical age,
hysteria, medicine, love, melancholy

Le baroque néo-hellénique et

Résumé
Title in English: Erotocritos:
Eros pharmakon or «erotos crisis»?
The neo-Hellenic Baroque and its impacts
Abstract
This w ork which responds to the title of
the Congress, is centered on love resolution,
treated as a remedy to a thematic depository
of a European literature period, via the study
of a Greek poem, Erotocritos , written
by V.Cornaros. It constitutes a rare neo-Hellenic
renaissance work of art where the passion
of love turns into a feeling capable to change
the world, only when overruled by prudence.
The poem aims at delivering man from his pettiness
and his feelings. After an accurate analysis
of the sources, the social context and the
date of the poem, we are defining the baroque
according to the theory of H.Wolfflin and
Eugenio d'Ors, we are referring to the principal
original features of passion and we are mentioning
the impact of the Cretan poem to the literary
and cultural development of modern Greece.
Keywords : passion, love,
prudence, Baroque, Cretan literature

Minne, Liebe,
Schwärmerei tra Medioevo e Barocco
Title in English: Minne,
Liebe, Schwärmerei between Middle Ages
and Baroque
Abstract
Different kinds of literary love like Minne
, Liebe and Schwärmerei
can be identified in German erotic literature
between the Middle Ages and baroque. Minne
represented as a medieval gentlewoman
causes love-suffering as well as also heals
people who have fallen in unhappy love. Love
as a sweet feeling which allies two persons
sentimentally and sexually has been studied
in medical and philosophical texts of humanists
much more liberally than in highly polite
literature. Schwärmerei as
rhetoric exaltation of love in Petrarchan
tradition fades in German literature of XVII
century.
Keywords : Minne, Liebe,
Schwärmerei, Middle Ages, Baroque

«Paradiso
infernal, celeste inferno». Ossimori
d'amore nell'Adone de Giovan Battista Marino
Title in English: «Infernal
paradise, celestial hell» . Love oxymora
in Giovan Battista Marino's Adone
Abstract
The word «pharmakon» brings forth
an oxymoron that cannot be perceived in translations,
since they always have to choose to underline
just one of its aspects, according to what
J. Derrida noticed. The same ambiguity can
be seen in the figure of Love, which can be
either long-sighted or blind. The conceit
of oxymoron seems to perfectly suit Baroque
thought, as the Adone of Giovan
Battista Marino shows it; in this long poem
the oxymoron is bound to the theme of love
in several ways: in the history of the hero
who gives his name to the poem (Adone, who
falls in love because of the one who had to
put him to death, is killed by the kiss of
a wild boar fallen in love with him) and in
the very pattern of the poetic text (where
the oxymoron mixes with other rhetorical processes,
as in the description of Love made by Venus).

Adone, Giovan Battista Marino, Baroque

Guérir
ou mourir : petites notes sur le poison
de l'amour (et sur le Properce de Béroalde
Title in English: Healing
or dying: small notes on the love poison (and
on Beroaldus' Propertius)
Abstract
Tradition often uses the word amo '
as a synonym of venenum , i.e., poison.
In the symbolic tradition, it is the mala
pars of an entire symbol and of an iconology
that also includes a bona pars .
After highlighting some allegorical formulations,
the author analyzes this topic in Propertius
(2, 12, 19 intactos isto satius temptare
veneno ) through the Commentarii
in Propertium by Philippus Beroaldus
the Old (1453-1505).

Eros au miroir:
mélancolie amoureuse et homosexualité
dans quelques comédies de Shakespeare
Title in English: Eros
at the mirror: love melancholy and homosexuality
in some of Shakespeare's comedies
Abstract
In the very deep of Shakespeare's comedy lies
a dark force curiously associated with love
joys that allows us to say that melancholy
in Shakespeare is not a superficial presence
determined by the trend of the Elizabethan
age. Instead, when it appears in some character
in a very evident way it always turns out
to a very complex vision of love passion.
Through the analysis of A midsummer's
night dream , and more briefly, of The
twelfth night , As you like it
and The merchant of Venice , we become
aware of how, through the theatrical game
of sexual identities and crossed desires,
the poet shows the double aspect of Eros,
as a creating power providing a remedy to
melancholy, as well as a destructive one when
sexual desire is removed.
Keywords : Shakespeare, comedy,
homosexuality, melancholy, eros

Une édition
des Angoisses et remèdes d'amour de
Jean Bouchet suivi de L'Histoire d'Euralius

éditorial comme pharmakon
Title in English: An edition
of the Angoisses et remèdes d'amour
followed by the history of Euralius and Lucresse
by Enea Silvio Piccolomini
Abstract
In a Parisian edition of the Angoisses
et remèdes d'amour by Jean Bouchet,
the Histoire des deux amants by Enea
Silvio Piccolomini was presented in the same
volume. This assemblage can be understood
undeniably as a commercial operation. Anyway,
through important cuts suppressing the most
voluptuous passages, this tale is rewritten
because of an editorial need in order to fall
into line with Jean Bouchet's work. In this
way, the erotic fiction of the Histoire
des deux amants becomes remedium
amoris . Therefore, the two works are
concerned by an editorial rewriting bringing
three effects: it expresses the aesthetic
worries and the didactic purpose of the editor,
Madelaine Boursette; it transforms the early
works by Bouchet and Piccolomini in mature
works through the moral inflection and a retrospective
point of view, and, by this, it raises to
the rank of moral models and of literary canon
two authors sharing the same moral worries
of the producers. The reading of the poetical
fiction can be helpful and act as a pharmakon
if it can turns the strength of imagination
toward a virtuous path leading the reader
to refuse insane love.

Gli amori
di Arianna secondo il Rinuccini
Title in English: Arianna's
loves according to Ottavio Rinuccini
Abstract
Ariadne's abandonment in the island of Naxos
by Theseus and her subsequent marriage with
Dionysos was first narrated in Hesiod's Theogony
, but her story by many Greek sources
had a sorrowful ending. Latin poets such as
Catullus and Ovid report her marriage with
Dionysus, but nevertheless she appears mostly
unhappy and jealous. Her eros is
only a poisonous pharmakon . Painters,
from Antiquity to Renaissance and Baroque,
represented her like a victim, or a Maenad.
Only Ottavio Rinuccini, a member of the Camerata
Fiorentina, the first poet of librettos, shows,
in 1608, a happy and blessed Ariadne, whose
second love, at the same time, wounds her
and heals the mortal wound caused by her first
love.

Arianna, Dioniso, Rinuccini

Il remedium
amoris da Ovidio a Enea Silvio Piccolomini
Title in English: The
remedium amoris from Ovid to Enea Silvio Piccolomini
Abstract
Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini had a wide knowledge
of classic authors: we know from his letters
that he read Ovid, particularly Ars
and Remedia , which were much imitated
during the Middle Ages and later. In his letter
to Ippolito Porro (1446), entitled De
remedio amoris , he reworks several topoi
of the Greek and Latin erotic poetry,
but his main arguments are based on a Christian
view of women, love and sin.
In his early book of elegies, dedicated to
Cinthia , we find the influence of
latin poets, mostly Virgil, then Propertius;
in the pattern of this work the presence of
the theme of remedium amoris and
medicina amoris appears quite rarely,
specially in the beginning of elegy 21 to
Cinthia, which shows allusions to augustan
poets, but also a long quotation from St.Ambrose.
In the last elegy (23, to Cupid) the final
couplet closely imitates language and imagery
from Ovid's Remedia , v. 79-120,
although this early poem does not show yet
the elegant and mature Latin of later works
written by the future Pope Pius II.
Keywords : Piccolomini, remedium
amoris, Latin, Humanism

La maladie
amoureuse dans les images et les textes
Title in English: Love
disease in images and texts
Abstract
Figure on which the knowledge of several branches
of learning (medicine, theology, laws) interweave,
the fool is a frequent theme in chivalry poems,
where it always shows as a symbol of estrangement
from any form of civilisation and human contact.
Insanity in literature is always easy to recognize
through specific behaviours (refusal of clothes,
loss of the language, flight towards a forest
or a desert, etc.), many of which belong to
Ariosto's Orlando. The insanity of this character
can be classed among those brought about by
the loss of the lady, who's the knight's reason
of life. The knight's insanity is often bound
to the theme of love, as in troubadours' poetry:
sometimes is the power of love in itself that
makes crazy, but sometimes the knight chooses
to submit himself to insanity to get closer
to the object of his love: it's the case of
Tristan in Folie Tristan.

Roland, chivalry
