The Sense of Reading: Ways in and out of the Textual Crossroad Considering the questions of encoding and decoding a text in the High Middle Ages, this paper deals with the political dimensions of poetical and literary matter. The central point of the article is the work of Rabanus Maurus.
This paper examines the reception of Boccacio’s “Tale of Griselda” found at the ends of hisDecameron.The tale is a rather enigmatic one, and remains difficult to interpret. In order to investigate the problems of interpretation and meaning when confronted with Decameron’s version of Griselda, we will draw from the work of subsequent authors: Olivier de la Marche, Petrarch and Philippe de Mézières.
