Lettera e voce nella «Passione Mai» in veneziano antico

• The ≪Passione Mai≫ is a Passion narrative which harmonizes the four Gospels. The text is preserved in a fourteenth-century manuscript of the Angelo Mai Library in Bergamo (Italy), and its prologue clearly shows that it was intended for reading aloud on Good Friday, perhaps in a brotherhood of laymen. The study argues that the ≪Passione Mai≫ is a translation from Latin and analyses its language, identifying it as ancient Venetian. Nonetheless, the language shows a few non-Venetian features, together with a Latin influence.
