They circulate through writers, texts, and communities in a process that ultimately results in modifications in their structure and meanings. Hence, context plays a crucial role in defining proverbs as well as in determining their interpretation. Vincenzo Brusantino's Le cento novelle (1554), John Florio's Firste Fruites (1578) and Second Frutes (1591), and Pompeo Sarnelli's Posilecheata (1684) offer clear representations of how traditional wisdom and communal knowledge reflect the authors' personal perspectives on society, culture, and literature. The analysis of the three authors' proverbs through comparisons with classical, medieval, and early modern collections of maxims and sententiae provides insights on the fluidity of such expressions, and illustrates the tight relationship between proverbs and sociocultural factors. Brusantino's proverbs introduce ethical interpretations to the one hundred novellas of Boccaccio's The Decameron, which he rewrites in octaves of hendecasyllables. His text appeals to Counter-Reformation society and its demand for a comprehensible and immediately applicable morality. In Florio's two bilingual manuals, proverbs fulfill a need for language education in Elizabethan England through authentic and communicative instruction. Florio manipulates the proverbs' vocabulary and syntax to fit the context of his dialogues, best demonstrating the value of learning Italian in a foreign country. Sarnelli's proverbs exemplify the inherent creative and expressive potentialities of the Neapolitan dialect vis-a-vis languages with a more robust literary tradition. As moral maxims, ironic assessments, or witty insertions, these proverbs characterize the Neapolitan community in which the fables take place"-- $c Provided by publisher. 540 $a British Library not licensed to copy $c 0. $5 Uk 600 10 $a Florio, John, $d 1553?-1625. $t Firste fruites. 600 10 $a Florio, John, $d 1553?-1625. $t Second frutes. 600 10 $a Sarnelli, Pompeo, $d 1649-1724. $t Posilecheata. 650 0 $a Proverbs, Italian $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Italian literature $y 16th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Italian literature $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Italian literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00980660 650 7 $a Proverbs, Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01080403 648 7 $a 1500-1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Brusantino, Vicenzo, $d active 16th century. $t Cento novelle. 830 0 $a Purdue studies in Romance literatures ; $v v. 83. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E5AB79A8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
