Consolatio ad Iacobum Antonium Marcellum de obitu Valerii filii

View through CrossRef
Upon the death of Jacopo Antonio Marcello’s eight-year-old son Valerio on the first of January 1461, prominent humanists produced consoling letters, essays, and poems. The most important of these writings was the Consolatio ad Iacobum Antonium Marcellum de obitu Valerii filii, written by the Italian humanist Francesco Filelfo (1398-1481). In his Consolatio, Filelfo displays an ambitious synthesis of Greek, Roman, and Christian consolatory themes and combines panegyrics on the boy and his father with a philosophical exposition on the immortality of the soul. The present volume offers the first modern edition and in-depth study of this remarkable literary work. It is in two parts: first, the critical edition facing the English translation of Filelfo’s Consolatio; second, four chapters, which explore the historical context of the Consolatio, its place in the genre of consolation, and its philosophical and rhetorical dimensions. Lorsque le fils de Jacopo Antonio Marcello, Valerio, alors âgé de huit ans, décède le 1er janvier 1461, d'éminents humanistes adressent à son père des œuvres de consolation. Le plus important de ces écrits est la Consolatio ad Iacobum Antonium Marcellum de obitu Valerii filii, composée par l'humaniste italien Francesco Filelfo (1398-1481). Dans cette Consolatio, Filelfo nous offre une synthèse ambitieuse de motifs consolatoires grecs, romains et chrétiens, et combine des panégyriques sur l’enfant et son père, ainsi qu’un exposé philosophique sur l'immortalité de l'âme. Il s’agit ici de la première édition et de la première étude approfondie de cet ouvrage remarquable. L’étude se compose de deux parties : la première propose l'édition critique de la Consolatio avec en regard sa traduction anglaise ; la seconde se compose de quatre chapitres explorant le contexte historique de la Consolatio, sa place au sein du genre de la consolation ainsi que ses dimensions philosophiques et rhétoriques.
