For each character included in his genealogy, Boccaccio reports first of all the contents of the myth related to it and then the different literal and allegorical interpretations. The main sources are, besides Ovid, Paolo da Perugia and a mysterious Theodontius, who can be identified with a commentary on the Metamorphoses produced in the 11th or 12th century. The article aims to demonstrate that Boccaccio follows the method used by medieval exegetes of the Metamorphoses: rejecting the pagan contents of the myth, the commentators offered an allegorical and moralising interpretation, in fact rewriting the Metamorphoses as a 'medieval' work. 2022-06-01T12:15:37Z 2022-06-01T12:15:37Z 2020 chapter ONIX_20220601_9788855182362_359 2704-5919 9788855182362 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/56176 ita Studi e saggi application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 15730.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-5518-236-2_5 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-5518-236-2.05 10.36253/978-88-5518-236-2.05 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788855182362 219 15 Florence open access

The main sources are, besides Ovid, Paolo da Perugia and a mysterious Theodontius, who can be identified with a commentary on the Metamorphoses produced in the 11th or 12th century. The article aims to demonstrate that Boccaccio follows the method used by medieval exegetes of the Metamorphoses: rejecting the pagan contents of the myth, the commentators offered an allegorical and moralising interpretation, in fact rewriting the Metamorphoses as a 'medieval' work.
