Relire Plaute dans la facétie du Quattrocento Personnages, langue, mise en scène

The genre of jokes flourishes in Latin in the fifteenth century and in vernacular in the sixteenth century. At the crossroad of the medieval fables, novelle and Latin collections of « mottos », it is also strongly influenced by the rediscovery of Plautus’ comedies. This article aims to show how reading and interpreting the theatrical text fed this genre to create a hybrid literary form in Italian context: beffa. I would more likely talk about « stage in the jokes » than « jokes on the stage ».
