Title : Retorica amorosa e verità in Dante: il "De Causis" e l'idea della donna nel "Convivio" [Dante's loves, especially Beatrice, have been interpreted as representing philosophy; use of female abstractions is clearest in the "Convivio," which was influenced by the Pseudo-Aristotelian "Liber de Causis" with its Neoplatonic themes; the superior intelligences mentioned in the book were feminine, as was the world soul, giving Dante a philosophical context for his feelings of love; despite these feminine abstractions, actual women were conceded no such dignity].

Title : Authors in Love: The Exegesis of Late-Medieval Love-Poets [Vernacular poets who wrote about secular love sometimes appropriated techniques of literary criticism from a long scholastic tradition, which involved the interpretation of the Bible or Latin authors like Ovid. By appropriating exegetical (interpretive) practices like learned prologues and glosses within their own manuscripts, vernacular authors gained an authority that was previously reserved only for Latin writers. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
