Literatura italiana del seiscientos y filología de autor : tres ejemplos (Marino, Stigliani, Tesauro)

In the field of the authorial philology, with very few exceptions, for the 17th century there is a dramatic lack of both modern and cri- tical editions and, consequently, of philological studies. The three cases presented here, although very different from each other, show how research in this field allows us to gather valuable infor- mation on the way seventeenth-century authors worked. For Marino, by reviewing the cases of Rime, Galeria and Adone, an initial assessment of the aspects and problems of the tradition of Marino’s texts has been attempted, starting with the typology of the surviving elaborative mate- rials. In the case of Stigliani, a general overview is offered of the great mass of material available, consisting of prints, manuscripts and marginalia, witnesses to a tireless process of re-elaboration that was largely influenced by the author’s per- sonal vicissitudes. The case of Tesauro is instead presented through his best-known work, Il Can- nocchiale Aristotelico, for which a comparison of the most significant editions has highlighted the variations in both the general structure of the book and the individual textual portions.
