| Περίληψη: | In an article entitled “Per una nuova valutazione del Quattrocento francese”
published in 1957 on the threshold of the first booklet of "Studi Francesi", Franco Simone
affirmed that philological restitution of texts and understanding
of their place inside the culture that had products were the premise
essential, before any exegesis or critical interpretation, to achieve
a redefinition of overly limited historiographical paradigms in which the
French literature from the late Middle Ages had been located until that time.
We know that the research of the Italian scientist has powerfully dissipated
the historiographical myth of the 15th century Gothic opposed to the blooming
of Italian culture, for the benefit of an enhancement of wealth and fertility
a period which testifies, among other things, to an acute historical awareness
and of great interest for the ancient tradition, as well as for the great founders
of Italian Humanism; in the following decades, synergistic efforts
specialists largely trained in French, Belgian and Italian schools
have resulted in the publication of numerous studies and editions in the
field of literature in French medium, in favor of the base for a
imposing critical work that has refined, corrected and deepened the suggested perspective
formerly by the author of La coscienza della rinascita negli umanisti francesi.
