This essay examines four verbs from Dante’s Commedia that relate to music. Sections 2 and 3 discuss alleluiando and osannar, respectively. Section 4 considers the verb inneggiar — regarded, until Giorgio Inglese’s 2021 edition, as a corrupt reading of inveggiar — and argues that its similarity to the previously discussed denominal verbs, alleluiare and osannare, further supports inneggiar as the original lectio. Section 5 explores the meaning of alternando, a term with distinct, if not immediately obvious, musical resonance. As an introduction to the subject matter, section 1 provides an overview of the Commedia’s musical lexicon.

This essay examines four verbs from Dante’s Commedia that relate to music. Sections 2 and 3 discuss alleluiando and osannar, respectively. Section 4 considers the verb inneggiar — regarded, until Giorgio Inglese’s 2021 edition, as a corrupt reading of inveggiar — and argues that its similarity to the previously discussed denominal verbs, alleluiare and osannare, further supports inneggiar as the original lectio. Section 5 explores the meaning of alternando, a term with distinct, if not immediately obvious, musical resonance. As an introduction to the subject matter, section 1 provides an overview of the Commedia’s musical lexicon.File in questo prodotto:
