So what does “above it is flat but it is not flat below” mean, or “the hand turns from one side and from another”? And what “isn't insolent with its mouth or reticent with its tongue... But answers to whoever is speaking”? Or else, what “isn’t heavy on its own, but holds the weight of the water inside it”? This collection of 100 riddles dating back to Medieval time is now available as an ebook, curated by Manuela Bergamin, mixing the newer individual style of riddle along with the longer form of “banquet” or “symposium” riddles. The riddles in this book include classic versions along with other, more modern styles which can have multiple interpretations, and can be read in Italian with the answer hidden, or in the original Latin version. There is also an invaluable readers’ guide which covers the historical, cultural and literary context. The critical edition, with commentary on each riddle, was published in print in 2004 by Edizioni del Galluzzo.
