italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Dear italian-studies colleagues, I am pleased to forward this message from Martin McLaughlin to you. Best wishes, George Ferzoco * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * We have been asked to pass on the following information about an exhibition on the Tre Corone currently on in Oxford. Current Bodleian Exhibition Italy's Three Crowns: Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio. 19 June - 31 October 2007 Monday - Friday, 09.00 - 17.00 Saturday, 09.00-16.30 The Bodleian Library's summer exhibition is a journey in time celebrating the impact of Italy's 'three crowns', Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, on western culture. It starts off by exploring aspects of the medieval and Renaissance reception of Italy's three literary giants through a display of some of the Library's most visually attractive illuminated manuscripts and early printed books. It also features the extraordinary revival of British interest in Dante during the last two hundred years. The exhibition is rounded off by items from the contemporary artist Tom Phillips's archive relating to his Dante projects, showing how his visual work fits into this centuries-old tradition of Dante illustration and scholarship. The volume that accompanies the exhibition, 'Italy's Three Crowns: Reading Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio', ed. by Zygmunt G. Baranski and Martin McLaughlin, is available at £14.99.
