Poet:

Leonardo Giustinian?

Language:

Lauda:

Benedetta sia quell’ora che no’ fume illuminate-a BaG:8 (xyyx ababbccx)

Notes:

note: RostirollaB, 684-5. Music ed. in CattinG, 17 (Grey) and LuisiLG, ii, 19-23 (Grey, Anim1563); Giustinian text ed. LuisiLG, i, 300-01 (‘Benedecto ne sia el zorno’); 303-4 (‘Benedeto sia lo zorno’). Animuccia text varies. Probably modeled on Petrarch’s ‘Benedetto sia l’giorno e ‘l mese e l’anno’ (who was overturning Cecco Angiolieri’s ‘Maladecta sie l’ore ‘l punto; c.1260-1313). The ‘Benedetta sia l’ora’ attr. to Bianco da Siena in Gall3 (‘Benedetta sia l’ora/l’anno, el dì, el mese/che tu fusti annunziata’) does not match the rhyme scheme of Giustinian’s lauda. On the ‘Sia benedetto’ complex of poems, see also D’AnconaPP, 238. Rome, Biblioteca Angelica Ms. 2435, p. 6 transmits a ‘Benedetto sia quel giorno/ch’io vidi gli occhi belli’ that corresponds to the BaG:8 form of the lauda. Cc. text (‘Benedetto ne sia lo g[i]orno’) entered in R2929, which was copied by 1448.
