Abstract

Hugo Ripelin of Strasburg’s Compendium theologicae veritatis was an extremely popular work of theological instruction in the Late Middle Ages. An Italian version of its third and fifth book, dealing with the vices and the virtues, is headed Spina e Rosa. This vernacular treatise had also remarkable success, especially during the 15th century. The paper presents its manuscript tradition, which amounts to 20 copies. Whereas most of them are of Northern Italian origin, the oldest ms. and some other testimonies as well, come from Central- Southern Italy, leaving open the question about the origin of the text. Yet, the content and provenience of the mss. confirm that Spina e Rosa, written during the 14th century, belongs entirely to the contemporary culture of religious volgarizzamenti as established by the Tuscan Dominicans. Furthermore, it can be shown that this vernacular version of the Compendium was widespread among Franciscan and Augustine Friars.
