This paper analyses the function of objects in obscene comic poems of the 13th and 14th centuries. The first part reviews poems from Il Fiore, the literary dispute between Dante and Forese, work by Rustico Filippi and by the Perugia school, in which certain objects, through obscene metaphors, allude to something beyond their materiality and usual function. The second part offers a reading of a recently published sonnet by Lorenzo Moschi, a petrarchist and dolce stil nuovo poet, the author of 14 irreverent lines on a particular candelabrum that does not refer to anything else, but is also used in an obscene context.

Abstract
This paper analyses the function of objects in obscene comic poems of the 13th and 14th centuries. The first part reviews poems from Il Fiore, the literary dispute between Dante and Forese, work by Rustico Filippi and by the Perugia school, in which certain objects, through obscene metaphors, allude to something beyond their materiality and usual function. The second part offers a reading of a recently published sonnet by Lorenzo Moschi, a petrarchist and dolce stil nuovo poet, the author of 14 irreverent lines on a particular candelabrum that does not refer to anything else, but is also used in an obscene context.File in questo prodotto:
