''Gli Asolani'' (the people of Asolo) are dialogues in 3 books written between 1497 and 1504〔Kidwell, page 101〕 by Pietro Bembo in the language of Petrarch〔Kidwell, page 100〕 and comprise his first important work. Although he had shown a copy to Lucrezia Borgia in 1503,〔 the first edition from 1505 was published by Aldo Manuzio (Aldus Manutius), and the second edition was published, after various revisions, in 1530. They concern a dialogue on love that is supposed to have happened at Asolo near the court of Caterina Cornaro.〔Kidwell, page 99〕 ==Structure and personages== * Libro I - Perottino: the unfortunate lover who expresses love's negativity via psychophysiological analyses - playing on the words ''amore'' (love) and ''amare'' (bitter) "he argues that love is bitter, that all love causes bitterness, and that all bitterness proceeds from love"〔Kidwell, page 102〕 * Libro II - Gismondo: the fortunate lover who refutes Perottino's thesis by expounding love's positivity〔Kidwell, pages 104-106〕 * Libro III - Lavinello: who refutes both Perottino and Gismondo〔Kidwell, page 107〕 by supporting the theory of Platonic love - contemplating the beautiful ideal present in earthly things; Kidwell summarises this as "In short, good love is that which one can enjoy eternally and bad that which condemns us eternally to grief"〔Kidwell, page 109〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gli Asolani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
