Two Fragments of a Late Fourteenth-Century Vernacular Laudario by Sante Cicchi for the Flagellant Confraternity of Santo Stefano in Assisi

Abstract

After a few biographical notes on the notary Sante Cicchi of Assisi and a brief description of fragment AS2 from a laudario he compiled in 1388 for the flagellant confraternity of Santo Stefano in Assisi, of which he was a member, this article examines some echoes of Dante’s Divine Comedy to be found in a lauda from this fragment and then cites a four-stanzas lauda on death from this same laudario.
