Novelle / Nouvelles III – 2e partie VI-XXXVIII
by Matteo Bandello and edited by Delmo Maestri and translated by Ismene Cotensin-Gourrier, Adelin Charles Fiorato, Alain Godard and Michelle Godard
English summary: Just as in previous volumes, volume III presents some thirty novels, along with several notes. The novels from this collection, although varied, draw primarily from two sources: a tragic source stemming from ancient culture as well as from various facts of the particular time period, and a comical and erotic source, written in a spoken language, often inspired by diverse events. Shifting between traditional scholarly writing and colloquial language, the stories of Bandello excel in recounting the fortunes and misfortunes of Renaissance Italy. French text. French description: Comme les precedents volumes, le tome III presente une trentaine de nouvelles (fin de la 1re partie : nouvelles 27-59 ; debut de la seconde: nouvelles 1-5), assorties de notes abondantes. Les nouvelles de ce recueil, quoique tres variees, puisent principalement a deux sources : une source tragique issue de la culture antique mais aussi de faits divers de l’epoque, une source comique et erotique, ecrite dans une langue parlee et le plus souvent inspiree de faits divers.Glissant d’une ecriture savante traditionnelle a une langue vulgaire voire familiere, les recits de Bandello excellent a raconter les heurs et malheurs de l’Italie renaissante.
