Luigi Pulci in Renaissance Florence and Beyond. New Perspectives on his Poetry and Influence
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A comprehensive volume of collected essays on Luigi Pulci, the most popular poet of Quattrocento Florence. Luigi Pulci's rollicking, ribald account of the exploits of the paladin Orlando and his giant friend Morgante has never failed to provoke strong reactions in its readers. Pulci's irreverent satirical wit made his 'Morgante' an instant bestseller following its initial publication, but also drew the ire of powerful enemies like the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola, who called for copies to be burned in the 'bonfires of vanities' organized by his followers in Florence. The 'Morgante' is the most important immediate precursor to the 'Orlando innamorato' and the 'Orlando furioso', yet relatively little critical attention has been devoted to Pulci's work compared to that of his successors Boiardo and Ariosto. This volume - the first collection of critical essays dedicated to Pulci - offers a comprehensive reassessment of Pulci's work and legacy, shedding new light on the cultural and literary traditions that Pulci draws from and subverts, the social and political forces that shaped Pulci's work, and the breadth of Pulci's influence from the Renaissance to the present day.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
