Resumo: In the two final books of the Genealogie deorum gentilium (Genealogies of the pagan gods, ca. 1359-1374), following thirteen encyclopaedic volumes on the Greco-Roman gods and heroes, Giovanni Boccaccio writes a compelling defence of poetry and poets. There, he presents several arguments and examples to rebut his critics (amongst whom were theologians, lawyers and physicians). Particularly in Chapter 10 of Book 15, Boccaccio explains that all humans have different natural dispositions, including a poetic one; and the diversity of studies and professions should be celebrated, not repressed. Then, Boccaccio gives a personal account of his trajectory as a poet, revealing as futile any life project that does not meet one’s own desire. In this paper, I present an original translation of Genealogia 15.10 from Latin into Brazilian Portuguese, accompanied by a brief introduction on Boccaccio’s literary career.

Particularmente no capítulo 10 do livro 15, Boccaccio explica que todos os seres humanos possuem disposições naturais, incluindo uma disposição poética; e que a consequente diversidade de estudos e ofícios deveria ser exaltada, e não reprovada. Então, Boccaccio faz um relato de sua trajetória pessoal, revelando a inocuidade de qualquer projeto de vida que não contemple o desejo de cada um. Neste material, apresentarei uma tradução inédita da Genealogia 15.10 do latim para o português brasileiro, acompanhada de uma breve introdução sobre a carreira literária boccacciana.Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora2022-10-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/article/view/3840910.34019/2318-3446.2022.38409Rónai – Revista de Estudos Clássicos e Tradutórios; 2022: Special issue: Vitae: constructions around biography in Antiquity and its reception; 87-102Rónai – Revista de Estudos Clássicos e Tradutórios; 2022: Edição especial: Vitae: construções em torno da ideia de biografia na Antiguidade e sua recepção; 87-1022318-3446reponame:Rónaiinstname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/article/view/38409/25158Copyright (c) 2022 Adir de Oliveira Fonseca Juniorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFonseca Junior, Adir de Oliveira2022-12-06T14:54:12Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/38409Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronaiPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/oairevistaronai@gmail.comhttps://doi.org/10.34019/2318-34462318-34462318-3446opendoar:2024-05-03T12:01:09.568308Rónai - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)true
