Ep. 40: The Sicilian School, Frederick II of Sicily, and Giacomo da Lentini

Anne Schuchman and James Berrettini Season 1 Episode 40

In this episode, we talk about the importance of the Sicilian School, and read from the sonnets of Giacomo (Jacopo) da Lentini (alas, only in Tuscan and English -- the original Sicilian is lost to us). We also touch on the life of Frederick II of Sicily. Enjoy!
