Sommario/riassunto

The 'Bestiaire moral dit de Gubbio' is a unique medieval Italian bestiary composed of rhymed sonnets. Discovered in a private library in the late 19th century, this anonymous work stands as the sole rhymed bestiary in Italian literature of the 13th and 14th centuries. The text serves as a



moral and didactic tool, utilizing analogy to impart ethical lessons, reflecting the broader tradition of medieval moral literature. Sylvain Trousselard, an expert in medieval Italian literature, provides translation and commentary, highlighting the significance of these works in bridging ancient traditions with contemporary intellectual life. The intended audience includes scholars and enthusiasts of medieval literature, particularly those interested in moral and didactic texts.
