Abstract :
[en] La Fimerodia by Jacopo del Pecora da Montepulciano is a text that is often left on the fringe of literature handbooks. Yet, its status as the witness of the reception and success of the Three Crowns in the 14th century should attract some interest: in this respect, the poem responds to the need to investigate the memory of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. But the Fimerodia does not only interact with the big 14thcentury auctoritates: a more extensive review shows that Jacopo takes inspiration even from the so-called “minor” works. The aim of this paper is to show how inter-text models can be identified in the poem and the way they come into their own in such models. In addition, it provides evidence of a relationship with a model that has been neglected so far: Domenico da Montecchiello’s Le vaghe rime e il dolce dir d’amore.
