Descrizione

It is difficult to precisely define proverbial expressions: it is better to talk about ‘traditional material’. Instead, it is possible to trace their history from antiquity to the present day. Sometimes they remain almost identical, sometimes new topoi arise, sometimes there are variations, formal or semantic. The variations may be due to different cultural moments (in particular, the Christian rereadings of classical topoi are very important). Sometimes, however, authors make variations to restore effectiveness to expressions that are now too usual. Indeed, the relationship between traditional expressions and authors is very interesting. These topoi are originally anonymous, but then are attributed to a specific author. On the other hand, famous phrases by famous authors become proverbial or constitute the most widespread formulation of a topos.
