The "Scroll of Love" by Immanuel of Rome: A Hebrew Parody of Dante's "Vita Nuova."
The affinity between the "Scroll of Love" in the Maḥbarot by Immanuel of Rome (1265-1335?) and the "Vita Nuova" by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) has long been discussed by Hebrew scholars in terms of influence and imitation. What the present study suggests is that the "Scroll of Love" is, in fact, a p...

To strengthen her thesis the author draws attention to the "Rota Veneris," a thirteenth-century work parodying the literary traditions of amor carnalis and amor spiritualis, and also notes a curious parallel with Boccaccio's "Filostrato" and the changing ways scholars have read that work over the centuries. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Prooftexts is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
