Leonardo Salviati

Leonardo Salviati (* 1540 in Florence ; † September 19, 1589 ibid) was an Italian humanist , Romanist , grammarian and lexicographer.

life and work

Salviati came from the Florentine noble family Salviati . He was commissioned by Francesco I. de 'Medici with the “rassettatura” (censoring) of the Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio and, as a result, provided one of the most influential texts of the Questione della lingua with the Avvertimenti della lingua sopra'l Decamerone . In contrast, his grammar remained a manuscript and was only (critically) published in 1991.

Salviati was elected to the recently founded Accademia della Crusca in 1583 . The orientation on the literary authorities Dante Alighieri , Francesco Petrarca and Giovanni Boccaccio (at the expense of contemporary linguistic reality) on which the Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca (1612) is based goes back essentially to Salviati. Paolo Beni later took a contrary view in his Anticrusca .
