Coniugazione del verbo giocare. Grammatici e gioco nel Medioevo latino
Some examples from the world of grammar are chosen as an observatory for the attitude to intellectual play in the Middle Ages: from the playful grammar of Virgilio Marone Grammatico (VII century), to poetic enigmas of Aldelmo of Malmesbury and the others grammarian enigmists coming from England and Ireland (VII-VIII centuries), up to Alcuin and Fredugisus of Tours , the Carmen Buranum 71 and the ludic inspiration of Boncompagno da Signa (ca. 1175-after 1240).
