Il saggio dimostra come le edizioni dell’Orlando Innamorato e del Morgante prodotte da Lodovico Domenichi siano da collocare nell’ambito dell’incipiente ariostismo militante e leggere nel solco della lezione bembiana sulla lingua. Emerge quindi una sinergia Ferrara-Venezia in opposizione all’orizzonte municipale della cultura fiorentina contemporanea. Seguono tre appendici documentarie.

Although never producing an edition of Orlando Furioso, Lodovico Domenichi edited Boiardo’s Orlando Innamorato and Pulci’s Morgante with the aim of incorporating them within a genre championed by Ariosto’s poem. This essay demonstrates that, in his editions of Boiardo’s and Pulci’s poems, Domenichi followed faithfully in the footsteps of both Ariosto and Bembo, and this is consonant with the cultural opposition between the area including Venice and Ferrara, on the one hand, and that of Florence, on the other hand. Three appendixes are included.
