Full textIn the introduction of his work, Charles Senard puts the sexual representations of the Pontanian poems in the context of the history of attitudes of the Quattrocento and of the production of artistic and literary erotica of the time. He proceeds by identifying the ancient and Renaissance sources Pontano imitated, underlining both Pontano’s eclectic imitative practice and the importance of the Ovidian model. He then shows that the sexual passages of the Pontanian poems aim at achieving the enargeia effect, in order to titillate the reader: to this end, the Neapolitan poet, following in particular the recommendations of Quintilian, takes advantage of the ekphrasis techniques, and ensures that his reader, presumably a male, makes the phantasia of the poet his own. Finally, Charles Senard analyses the Pontanian discourse on sexuality and on its functions, confronting it with the theological, philosophical, medical and poetical discourses of the time; he shows that in the poetical works of Pontano, sexuality is above all described as a game, that follows precise rules; it also enables the fusion of the lovers, body and soul; it quenches their thirst, alleviates their hunger; finally, it gives them back the warmth of youth

Full textAbout the humanist Giovanni Pontano (1428-1503). All the main points were thought studied. A third of his works however, had not been explored, or very little, for one reason: it concerned the astrological writings of the napolitan. Beyond the darkness of the astral language, the author was considered as an ordinary link in the tradition. A reading of this corpus has convinced us in the opposite direction. Doubtless was Pontano pursuing, as Ptolemaeus 's heir, the astrological research, nevertheless his work was teeming with self-analyses, and especially important biographical data. That's why we were lead up to establish his accurate birthday, unknown since the XVIth century, by astronomical computation, to the year of 1428, in order to erect his birthchart. An extraordinary self-portrait has emerged from the commentaries of our astrologer. Slowly many other characters in his entourage come to light, to begin with the aragonese kings. Meanwhile, we have noted the rich confusion carried out by the author between the urania's language and the mythological tales. From the Venus, mistress of the taurus (Pontano's sign) to the ancient Venus. There was a couple of paces. Our astrologer had played upon two stages, and translated his life in the shape of a self-mythology. By the systematic examination of the more characteristic figures, based upon a chronological axis, we were able to exhume a new reading of his works, where the astrology was an hermeneutical tool. Thus Pontano had become the fitted guide of his creation
Bost-Fievet, Mélanie. "Personnifications du désir d’écrire dans la poésie lyrique néo-latine : Les Muses de Giovanni Pontano et de Jean Salmon Macrin." Paris, EPHE, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014EPHE4025.
Full textThis thesis offers a parallel exploration of the lyrical works composed by two neo-latin poets: Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503), a Neapolitan statesman, and Jean Salmon Macrin (1490-1557), a court poet native of Loudun; it endeavors to determine how the figure of the Muse personifies their desire to write and the reflexive nature of their poetry. Prolegomena are dedicated to retracing the story of the motive. The first part then studies how far each poet falls within the humanist theories of poetics pertaining to the questions of inspiration, the aptum of genre and ethos, and the social status of poetry. The second part analyzes the imaginary representations of the translatio Musarum and its personal and national stakes, moving onwards to the depiction of the private, familiar universe, a crucial theme for these two pioneers of conjugal lyricism. Finally, the third part addresses the construction of the poetic persona and the representation of self through the Muse, first within the uncertainties of the poet’s calling or career, then through the expression of the poet’s flaws and desires
Tilly, Georges. "Un manifeste posthume de l'humanisme aragonais : le De hortis Hesperidum de Giovanni Pontano De hortis Hesperidum." Thesis, Normandie, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020NORMR084.
Full textThe present thesis studies the last poem written by the humanist Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503) in the latefifteenth century/beginning of the sixteenth century : De hortis Hesperidum, a georgic on citrus gardens.Some descriptive chapters, followed by a more analytical and multidisciplinary study, cast light on thisoverlooked testament of Napolitan humanism. The poem is at first considered through its various readingsover time and in particular through its influence on the literature of European classical age. Then, theversification and the textual history of the poem are assessed and the principles of the current edition areestablished, thanks to a careful examination of its testimonies. Since De hortis Hesperidum is the first moderntext to imitate Vergil’s way of composing didactic poetry, the study deciphers the recreation of the georgicgenre at the begining of the modern period, by considering narrations patterns, digression’s role, the way ofpresenting the dedicatee or the poet himself. De hortis Hesperidum is also a scientific poem that demonstratesan early interest for citrus trees, by establishing their varieties and describing their culture, with an obviousattraction for ornemental gardens that foreteils their popularity in sixteenth century Naples and Italy,foreshadowing the beginnings of manierist gardens. Finally the poem pictures the aristocratical life of thePontanian academy. It gives the aspect of an ideal time, kept safe from the commotion of the Italian wars,thanks to the poet. In addition to this study, the thesis countains the first complete French translation of thetext and a new edition in which spelling has been corrected on the only known manuscript of the poem

The present study returns to Giovanni Gioviano Pontano's role as a thinker and philosopher. It is based on the treatises and tracts Pontano wrote, to which scant attention has been paid until now, but also on his ad hoc political writings and his better known dialogues and poems. It moves between different fields of inquiry including history, philosophy, and literature, trying to represent Pontano's thought not only in its doctrinal aspects, but in a more comprehensive and contextualized perspective. Within this perspective, his thought will appear as mercurial as Pontano himself. It is not a set of explicit, philosophical doctrines that can be described within a coherent theoretical framework, but a cluster of different thoughts, attitudes, and practices.
