The article deals with the role that the documents gathered in the Codice diplomatico dantesco had in Dante’s studies in the last century. The survey is divided into three phases, the first focused on the centenary of 1921 and the figure of Michele Barbi; the second phase, which was dominated by Gianfranco Contini, is located around the centenary of the poet’s death in 1965; the last one is focused on most recent studies. The interest of the scholars for the documents has been discontinuous; multiple factors influenced the turns in the scholars’ attitudes, including the relations of the various fields of research and the often conflictual dialogue between the various generations of specialists. Starting from the new interest in the documentary sources that emerged in the most recent phase, the authors calls for a new approach to the documents exploiting new tools, thus avoiding too much interference between the proper study of the documents and the self-narration Dante often offers in his writings.
