Abstract
The present study intends to examine the different demonstrations of the relationship between Ladinia and Oswald von Wolkenstein, a South Tyrolean author born at the turn of 1376 who died in 1445. Despite of a life characterized by long periods spent far away, Oswald remained very attached to his homeland, as can be seen both in his literary work and in the extensive documentation that has been preserved. His affinity for the Ladin territories is reflected in special ways with regard to two main aspects: on the one hand, traces of the Ladin language of Val Gardena can be found in Oswald’s literary production, and on the other hand it shows by the way Oswald was received in the Ladin area from the 19th century onwards.
With regard to the first aspect, Oswald includes semi-verses and/or specific terms in a language he called Welsch in two plurilingual Lieder, meant as a sophisticated divertissement and evidence of his mastery. A study published by Heinrich Kuen in this journal in 1979 which still is of major relevance today, identified this idiom with the Gardena variant of Ladin. Oswald probably acquired it during his childhood and recognized it as his second mother tongue together with German in the first of the two above-mentioned plurilingual Lieder. From a philological and linguistic point of view the Ladin element in Oswald’s literary work is without equal and of utmost importance because it anticipates by almost a century the first text partially written in a neo-Latin language in the South Tyrolean area. It also anticipates by three centuries both the creation of a Ladin identity and the very first Ladin literary texts that were also written in the Gardena variant.
As far as literary reception of Oswald in Ladinia is concerned, notwithstanding numerous revivals of the legend of Oswald as a politician and as a literary author, there has been relatively little interest in the academic community. By comparing the studies of Hans-Dieter Mück and Roland Verra, the second part of this paper first reconstructs a plausible origin of Oswald’s legend from the Dolomites “Man di Ferro” (literally “Iron Hand”), and then examines the literary, translational, musical and artistic tributes paid to Oswald, including personalities that have been central to Ladin culture such as Frida and Luis Piazza.
In conclusion, a strong and lasting connection between Oswald von Wolkenstein and Ladinia is revealed, reinforced on an institutional level. In the future one could focus on consolidating ties with the German-speaking and Italian-speaking communities in South Tyrol as well as with the rest of Italy and Europe that all proved vital to the background of Oswald’s life and work.
