Présentation de l'éditeur
The present volume is the outcome of those notes that were taken during the preparation of my previous work, Petrarch s Letters to Classical Authors (see op. cit., p. xiv). In the pages which are now offered to the reader, I have endeavored to draw a picture of Petrarca as a statesman; for I firmly believe that, even if Petrarca had never sung a single sonnet in honor of Laura, he would still have been dear to endless generations of Italians for having been the first real Italian patriot a man whose horizon was not bounded by narrow party lines, and whose heart, throughout his three score years and ten of busy life, was wholly devoted to the cause of I talia una. It is evident that the material thus offered for research study was too abundant to be included within the covers of a single volume. In fact, it soon became necessary to concentrate upon only one period of Petrarca spolitical activities, and out of three or more possible choices, I have chosen to treat of Petrarca srelations with Cola di Rienzo.
