Rustico Filippi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rustico Filippi († between 1291 and 1300) was a 13th century Italian lyric poet .

59 sonnets from Rustico have been preserved. There are roughly equal parts on the one hand to poems on the courtly love theme in the Tuscan imitation of the Sicilian school of poets and the Occitan trobadord poem , on the other hand to burlesque-satirical sonnets on in many cases historically identifiable contemporaries. Some things, such as his insult to the smell of an old woman ( Dovunque vai conteco porti il ​​cesso ), are of an almost unbeatable drastic quality .

Little is known about Rustico's biography. He was a Florentine , belonged to the municipality of Santa Maria Novella and died between 1291 and 1300. Brunetto Latini dedicated his Favolello to him around 1260 , Dante Alighieri could go from one of Rusticco's poems to his own Tenzone (between 1283 and 1292) with Forese Donati , specifically to have been inspired to the derisive description of his wife.

Rustico was known as a poet among his contemporaries, and he remained at least notorious for several generations to come. He is mentioned in the Documenti d'Amore (around 1316) by Francesco Barberini as a mockery of women. However, according to the surviving handwritten tradition, his poems did not become widely used beyond his lifetime. Most of the texts (58 of 59) are preserved in only one manuscript, the collection of the Codex Vaticanus latinus 3793 , which was written in the 1890s , which is important for the transmission of early Italian poetry . One of his poems can be found in three manuscripts from the 14th to 15th centuries. Century, another appears with the author's name "Rustico barbuto" in a Vatican manuscript of the 15th century, and a third was copied in 1523 by Pietro Bembo .
