Le egloghe di Niccolò da Correggio nel ms. Harley 3406: rapporti e contesti

The contribution examines the eclogues included in ms. Harley 3406 (Bri-tish Library), the main testimony of the poetical corpus of Niccolò da Cor-reggio (an author more known for the “bucolic” touch of his lyric poetry than as an author of fully-fledged eclogues). The analysis of the formal traits of these poems, as well as of some intertextual knots, will allow hypotheses on Correggio’s models and on his own role as model for other authors. The latter situation seemingly applied, in particular, in the period Correggio spent in Milan (1490-1497), where he became the centre of a network of poets that will here be partly reassessed.
