About the Book

Excerpt from L'Ermafrodito, E, l'Ecatelegio

Il secolo decimoquinto segna un ritorno all'antico. Il mondo greco-latino si presenta al] Immaginazione come una nuova Pompei che bisogna ad ogni costo disseppellire. L'im pulso dato dal Boccaccio e dal Petrarca diviene frenesia, crea una corrente elettrica che si propaga a tutti gli spiriti pen santi. Pullulano allora i latinisti e i grecisti che si affannano a percorrere l'oriente e l'occidente in cerca di antichi mano scritti e a rubarseli con lo stesso furore di devozione con cui secoli innanzi si rubavano le reliquie dei-santi. Alla stessa guisa che alcuni secoli prima i re si mandavano in dono fram menti di un legno della croce, i principi si regalavano codi ci: Cosimo de' Medici invia come pegno di pace ad Alfonso di Napoli un Tito Livio, la repubblica di Lucca attesta la sua gratitudine al duca Filippo Maria Visconti con due codi ci. I privati, come prima vendevano i beni per partir cro ciati, ora si privano de' loro averi per acquistare un manc scritto, cos� Antonio Beccadelli aliena un podere per com perarsi un Tito Livio. Ma a differenza dell'alto medioevo in cui gli spiriti vivevano in contemplazione e la carne era ma cerata, ora il corpo diviene strumento di piacere e le passio ni pi� basse e volgari trionfano. Il ritorno alla lingua latina segna un rilassamento nei costumi e nelle coscienze. La col tura acquista fisonomia nazionale, diviene italiana ma man ca di contenuto vitale, della lotta intellettuale della passio ne politica che crea veramente la vita. Gli scrittori senza u na coscienza loro propria, vanno errando per le corti, si oftrono al] incanto, cercano di stuzzicare gli appetiti de' loro protettori; fanno come i capitani di ventura, si vendono al miglior offerente; il nemico dell'oggi diventa il protettore di domani. Fiacchezza e servilismo, indifferenza religiosa e politica domina in tutto, la depravazione' dilaga, le passioni sensuali occupano tutta la vita. Nessuna meraviglia che in un tempo di corrotti costumi anche gli ingegni pi� nobili si perdano a scrivere porcherie che fanno arrossire e che i prin Cipi ne accettino le dediche. Leonardo Aretino si compiace di scrivere una esortazione alle meretrici e la suppone pro nunciata da Eliogabalo, il pi� dissoluto fra gli imperatori; Lapo da Castiglionchio, rigido con gli altri, invita Leonardo Dati a lasciare gli studi severi per gustare un'egloga lasciva, musandosid'averla scritta., col vecchio e sovente falso ada gio: licenziosa � la pagina, proba � la vita. Antonio Beccadel li scrive l'ermajrodito libro d'una licenza strana, in cui si nota tutta la impudente scostumatezza del secolo. Eppure questo libro, che oggi deve essere letto solo a scopo_di studio da uomini assennati, ebbe lodi sperticate da ogni ceto di persone e fu richiesto allora anche da arcivescovi. Non tutti per� tollerarono, e a buon diritto, tanto sfregio alla pubbli ca morale. Anche Guarino, veronese, che prima l'aveva cn comiato, pi� tardi temper� il suo giudizio; lo stesso Poggio, uomo per nulla scrupoloso, scriveva all'autore: le cose da te divulgate fin qui possono condonarsi all'et� o alla licenza del lo scherzo; ma sai come non � permesso a noi cristiani quel lo che lo era ai poeti ignari di Dio e lo esortava ad occu parsi d'argomenti pi� gravi. Maffeo Vegio voleva il Becca delli sepolto in una cloaca, luogo convenientissimo ai suoi costumi. I predicatori presero l'ermafrodito per soggetto di declamazione si dice che l'autore fosse bruciato in efi�cie.
