Sumario:The history of philosophy shows that at least until the 19th century there was not a clear distinction between what we now call roughly speaking literature and philosophy. This is quite evident in Medieval times when philosophy was written in many different literary genres and even within the universities some poems were commented in strictly philosophical terms. This paper analyses the way in which Contemporary historiography has discussed the intertwined links between philosophy and poetry in the Middle Ages, in order to show that very different historiographc approaches –from Eugenio Garin to Ruedi Imbach, Mario dal Pra, Loris Sturlese, Emanuele Coccia-Sylvain Piron and Gregorio Piaia– converge in what we call the “decolonization of the past” (the expression belongs to Gregorio Piaia), which means that the historian should not project his or her own idea of what philosophy is onto the past.
