Lorenzo Dell'Oso - Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow
Lorenzo Dell’Oso is an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Georg August University of Göttingen (2022-2024). He is currently working on his first monograph, provisionally entitled Il poeta e le “scuole delli religiosi”: la formazione scolastica di Dante a Firenze (1290-1302) (‘The Poet and the ‘Schools of the Religious Orders’: Dante’s ‘Scholastic’ Formation in Florence (1290-1302)’). The monograph aims to shed light on the period when Dante was in Florence in the 1290s and during the ‘thirty months’ in which, as he recounts in the Convivio, philosophy revealed itself to him after he had attended the “schools of the religious orders” and the “disputations of the philosophers.” The aim is to investigate what Dante may have learnt in the mendicant monasteries; how he reacted to the teachings of the friars; whether the works written in those years (Vita nova, Rime) bear traces of his contacts with the schools; and how his contacts with these circles may have influenced his poetic production in later years, especially during his exile, from the Convivio to the Commedia.
