Una proposta di rilettura dantesca: confortare i voti giusti (lettera IX)

Résumé

Abstract: The expression vota iusta confectat of Dante’s ninth letter, one of the three feminine letters written for the countess Gherardesca di Battifolle and destined to Margaret of Brabant, Queen of the Romans, has not received much attention thus far, confectat being generally interpreted as an intensive form of facit, or as a substitute form of conficit. Confectare has nevertheless a very technical meaning, that of “tanning”, in late Medieval texts. I propose, on the base of a paleographical and a lexical discussion, to reinterpret this form as an alteration of confortat, a verb which feats perfectly with Dante’s phraseology as well as with the ideas expressed in this passage.
