A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Kossetti, an advocate in Trieste, and they are all accurately known. One of the best editions of his Ernie is that published by Zatta in Venice, in 1756, with the Commentary of Castelveltro, including also the oldest biographies of the poet and a vast superfluity of notes. In modern times the edition published by Ciardetto in Florence, in 1822, is perhaps the most complete. The Latin works of Petrarch, from which the materials of the following pages are chiefly taken, were as follows :T he Familiar Letters. Twenty-four books. The Senile Letters. Seventeen books. The Various Letters. One book. Letters without a title. One book. These letters were the work of his life, a complete correspondence extending from 1326 to 1374, and embracing almost every incident which befell him in those forty-eight years. They were arranged by Petrarch himself, and intended by him to be the record of his thoughts and actions. He tells us that in making the collection he destroyed above one thousand letters and pieces which he thought unworthy to form part of it. Next come his philosophical writings :T he Secretum, or Conflict of Cares, written in 1342. Of Solitary Life, written in 1346. Of Monastic Leisure, written in 1347. Of Memorable Events (date unknown). Of True Wisdom :a Dialogue (date unknown). printed (in folio) in the seventeenth century; and that the first 8vo edition of our great English poet was published in 1709.
