Il contributo di Lorenzo Franciosini alla didattica della lingua spagnola in Italia: alcuni aspetti delle glosse ai Diálogos apacibles

Abstract

This article is going to focus on some aspects of Lorenzo Franciosini's Diálogos Apacibles, as well as the importance of his work as lexicographer and translator. First, my research delves into the finding of a taxonomy of the glosses that accompany the Diálogos, whose importance had already been underlined by Carmen Castillo Peña y José Joaquín Martínez Egido. These authors confirmed the importance of the glosses in their works, but nobody tried to describe the method Franciosini used and the meaning of his interventions that occur also in the Nomenclator and the Dichos políticos y morales. Based on the analysis of some of these comments, that I have selected, I am going to describe the method Franciosini chose to help the readers and the students who used his work to learn Spanish.
