pur in un contesto romantico.
Il contributo, arricchito da un’analisi filologica del carteggio e del contesto storico-letterario, fornisce nuove chiavi interpretative per comprendere il rapporto tra Leopardi e Rosini.
The recognition and dating of corrective stratigraphies, in the study of manuscript writings, is fundamental in the preparation of critical editions, for author philology and variant criticism, and in cases of authorship. The analysis of the different "corrective campaigns" of a text can now be carried out with some imaging techniques, from RTI, to interferometers, to photometric stereo, which allow to reconstruct the third dimension: "z", that of time: a technology widely used in cultural heritage, but still not very widespread in the study of texts. The contribution illustrates some cases of 3D reconstruction of manuscripts, from Dante to Leopardi, and proposes a protocol for sharing digital reproduction standards.
Zibaldone di pensieri was born as a draft book, mainly of literary topics. The first hundred pages of the manuscript can be read as a developing text. What separates them from the rest of the pages is the absence of the systematic registration of the date. Starting from the state of the autographs, this contribution identifies a new path to establish the dating, by collecting and systematising different data, methods, and tools. A new and detailed analysis of the manuscript is essential to capture the internal processes and to highlight the composition methods. The present study focuses on the case of the first page of Zibaldone that, in its variety of time and thoughts, permits to focalise the different methodological approaches.
