La scrittura a mosaico: inserti in volgare nei testi della predicazione,

Sermons in mixed Latin or with linguistic hybridizations are a linguistic and literary phenomenon that has been widely investigated in different national contexts. This work aims to investigate the emergence of the Italian vernacular within the transcriptions of Latin sermons in the thirteenth-fifteenth centuries, from the point of view of graphic and perigraphic features. It also seeks to observe the reactions of scribes in switching from Latin to the vernacular (and viceversa) within the same text, as a reflection of a reality of well-established bilingualism and of graphic traditions related to different languages. The aim is to identify "patterns and interferences" in these cases of vernacular writing and to determine insertion-breaking contexts and to determine how the overbearing emergence of modern, collective and emotional preaching is reflected in graphic uses, distinguishing between contexts of immediate reportationes, private rewritings and later transcriptions.
