L’«Exhortatio adversus Turcos ad Alphonsum Hispaniae et Italiae regem» di Andrea Contrario by Antonietta Iacono

“… Il saggio presenta l’orazione che l’umanista Andrea Contrario rivolse, probabilmente nel 1456, ad Alfonso il Magnanimo; ne ripercorre la trama caratterizzata da un’alta formalizzazione retorica e da una ricca intertestualità, evidenziando il tema della contrapposizione tra Turchi e Cristiani e facendo emergere ragioni, aspettative, posizioni ideologiche diffuse a Napoli, come in Italia e in Europa. Particolare attenzione è riservata al motivo della laus del sovrano (re, imperatore, ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν, paladino di tutta la cristianità) che permea l’intera orazione, e costituisce anche la legittimazione per l’autore a parlare a nome del popolo cristiano, che attende da Alfonso la crociata contro l’empio turco per salvaguardare la cristianità. …”
