Resumen de I «Giornali» di Giuliano Passaro (1526ca.). Note filologiche e linguistiche Wolfgang Schweickard EMAIL logo
The Giornali of the saddler Giuliano Passaro, completed around 1526, have not yet received the attention they deserve. The chronicle, which describes in the Neapolitan vernacular the historical situation of the Realm of Naples, is of considerable interest both from a historiographical and historical-linguistic point of view. Up to now, the printed edition of 1785 has mainly been used for historiographical and linguistic research. However, it presents considerable differences and errors with respect to the manuscripts. A critical edition therefore remains an urgent need. In the present state of our knowledge, the ms. 13324 of the Biblioteca Nacional de España seems to be the closest version to the lost original.
