Pergolesi\'s Ricimero Reconsidered

This paper identified, for the first time, the libretto of Pergolesi's Il prigionier superbo (1733) as an adaptation of Silvani's La fede tradita e vendicata. For a subsequent, more detailed study, see Mario Armellini, "'Il prigionier superbo' di Pergolesi e le sue fonti librettistiche," in Studi Pergolesiani 4 (ed. Francesco Degrada), Iesi, 2000, 253–72.
