The essay deals with textual and interpretative problems of Michelangelo’s poetry; in particular, it deals with the problem that his manuscripts nearly always bear the signs of an unfinished process of development. A historical and stylistic analysis shows that editors of the Rime have hardly ever accepted the ‘unfinished’ as a peculiar characteristic of Buonarroti’s writing. Even the important critical edition by Enzo Noè Girardi includes some limitations and could be improved. The author provides a new edition of sonnet 58, which is an exemplary case of an unfinished poem, in that it becomes possible to read only after a reconstruction of scattered autographed fragments. in the second part of the essay, the author proposes an interpretation and a date of composition of one version of madrigal 246. In both of the poems examined one may trace expressions that are connected in various ways with artistic language: by making internal comparisons within the corpus as well as comparisons to other poets, determinations are sought regarding the genesis, style and significance of such language.

Abstract

The essay deals with textual and interpretative problems of Michelangelo’s poetry; in particular, it deals with the problem that his manuscripts nearly always bear the signs of an unfinished process of development. A historical and stylistic analysis shows that editors of the Rime have hardly ever accepted the ‘unfinished’ as a peculiar characteristic of Buonarroti’s writing. Even the important critical edition by Enzo Noè Girardi includes some limitations and could be improved. The author provides a new edition of sonnet 58, which is an exemplary case of an unfinished poem, in that it becomes possible to read only after a reconstruction of scattered autographed fragments. in the second part of the essay, the author proposes an interpretation and a date of composition of one version of madrigal 246. In both of the poems examined one may trace expressions that are connected in various ways with artistic language: by making internal comparisons within the corpus as well as comparisons to other poets, determinations are sought regarding the genesis, style and significance of such language.
