Abstract

The article shows the development of the ‘infidel’ topos in several genres and authors starting from the second half of the thirteenth to the fourteenth century. A special attention is dedicated to the reception of the figures of Mohammed and of Hassan-i Sabbah, and to the ‘moralized’ representation of the East as space of the marvellous, aiming to analyse the distance from chronicle (Giovanni Villani, Pucci, etc.) to the novella (Boccaccio, Sercambi).
