Qualche riflessione sul "Fiore"

The recent discussions about the "Fiore" reopened a question which invites to consider issues not directly related to the actual text, but rather to reconsider other data such as the internal signature, the mentioning of the murder of Siger of Brabant or Federico da Porto's testimony. Among the "internal" arguments some relevance must be granted to the sequence "Rose" - "Fiore" - "Comedia" especially if seen in connection with the common source of both "Fiore" and "Comedia". As for the composition of the "Fiore" in France, it conflicts with what is currently known about Dante's biography. It is rather significant that scholars show some difficulty in acknowledging the link between "Fiore" and "Detto d'Amore", a fact which strengthens the impression that the "quaestio" becomes more problematic when seen outside of the perspective of Dante's experimentalism.
