The rise of the Tongue of Italy. Hospitallers and Turks in the Descriptione della obsidione della citade Rhodiana by William Caoursin
Abstract
La Obsidionis urbis Rhodie descriptio di Guglielmo Caoursin, vicecancelliere dell’ordine ospitaliero, venne scritta immediatamente dopo l’assedio di Rodi del 1480. L’opera ebbe un grande successo e fu tradotta in molte lingue, tra cui l’italiano, in un momento in cui il ruolo dei cavalieri appartenenti alla lingua d’Italia assunse sempre più rilevanza nell’alta gerarchia giovannita.
The Obsidionis urbis Rhodie descriptio by William Caoursin, vice-chancellor of the Order of St. John, was written immediately after the siege of Rhodes in 1480. The work had a huge success and was translated in many idioms, among which the Italian, in a moment when the role of the Italian Knights was becoming increasingly relevant in the high hierarchy of the Convent of Rhodes.
