Extractions: Birth: Occupation: Petrarch was crowned poet laureate in Rome in 1341, and was a classical scholar, diplomat, historian and philosopher. Petrarch wrote a great deal of poetry, much of it in the vernacular, making it easily accessible to those of the general public who were literate. His most famous collection of poems is his Canzoniere, a collection of 366 love songs, in which he expresses his love of the earthly things that surround him. Most of it was inspired by his idealised love of a beautiful girl named Laura; a symbol of spiritual beauty and erotic attraction. It was his poetry more than anything which brought him the fame and recognition he desired. His works made popular the sonnet and influenced poets such as Chaucer, Ronsard, Spencer, and Shakespeare . Out of Petrarch's many sonnets, perhaps his most famous are those written for Laura. He first saw her in 1327 in the church of Santa Clara in Avignon, but to his dismay she was already married. His love for her was to be never more than platonic. For him she was a vision of idealised beauty, of love, of desire and of what he could not attain in this world. Petrarch argued that all philosophical thought and rhetoric should have the purpose of making men virtuous, enabling them to cultivate their lives into something of value. He believed however, that men would never be able to achieve complete self-transcendence, and had this to say about his own lot in life:

One of the great figures of Italian literature, considered second only to Dante, Petrarch was a great classical scholar and the first modern poet. In doing so, he perfected the sonnet form that was adopted as an ideal model by later poets such as Shakespeare and Chaucer. His remains were dug up again 1943, during WWII, and put in a safe place in the underground rooms of Venice's Ducal Palace. "Apart from this, the skeleton is almost intact. Even the cranium's fragments are large enough to make possible a reconstruction," Wiel Marin said. The researchers plan to work on the remains for at least seven months. The results of their analysis will be announced in time for the celebrations of the 700th anniversary of the poet's birth on July 20, 1304 in Arezzo, Tuscany.

Extractions: Read about researchers working in the field featured in our Discovery Quest series. "DNA tests confirmed what we thought as we saw the skull: it could not belong to Petrarch. The contours above the eyes and below the ears are indeed typical of a woman. On the contrary, there is no doubt about the body," lead scientist Vito Terribile Wiel Marin, professor of pathological anatomy at the University of Padua, told Discovery News. One of the great figures of Italian literature, considered second only to Dante, Petrarch was a great classical scholar and the first modern poet. In doing so, he perfected the sonnet form that was adopted as an ideal model by later poets such as Shakespeare and Chaucer. Petrarch's venerable head was in fragments when a crane lifted the two ton lid from his pink marble tomb last November. One of the main reasons for the exhumation was to reconstruct the poet's face in time for the 700th anniversary of his birth on July 20, 1304 in Arezzo, Tuscany. While dashing hopes of recreating a definitive portrait of the poet, the discovery has also unveiled an unsolved crime dating back hundreds of years.

Extractions: by Francesco Petrarca ca. 1350 * Asterisks indicate endnotes accessible as hypertext. What will we do now, brother? Indeed, we have already tried almost everything, and there is no rest anywhere. When can we expect it? Where shall we look for it? Time, as they say, has run through our fingers; our earlier hopes are buried with our friends. It was the year that rendered us lonely and helpless; nor did it take from us the kinds of things that can be restored from the Indian, or Caspian, or Carpathian seas; these latest blows are irreparable, for any wound that death has inflicted is untreatable. Only one comfort remains: we shall follow those whom we have sent before us. How short the wait will be, I do not know; this I know, that it cannot be long. And indeed however short it is, it cannot fail to weigh heavily. But we must restrain ourselves from complaints, at least in the beginning. As for you, brother, what your concerns are and what you are thinking about, I do not know; but I am putting together little bundles and, as wanderers do, I am looking around at what I should bring with me, what I should share among my friends, and what I should commit to the fire. For nothing of mine is for sale. I am, indeed, more richly provided [ ditior ], or rather more fettered

http://icg.harvard.edu/~chaucer/special/authors/petrarch/

Extractions: (ClPro IV.31-33) Francis Petrarch had an enormous influence on English literature, beginning in the sixteenth century the fact that we customarily Anglicize his name, Francesco Petrarca, into "Francis Petrarch" shows how deeply embedded his works are in the English poetic tradition. His poems shaped much of Elizabethan lyric poetry, and Shakespeare's sonnets could not exist without Petrarch's previous sonnets and canzone. Chaucer was the first English writer to know these poems. and centuries before Petrarch's work entered the mainstream of English literature he draws on Petrarch for Troilus' song in Troilus and Criseyda For a text of this sonnet see: Petrarch's "If Love Does Not Exist" Petrarch was as celebrated in his time for his Latin works as for his Italian; (when Chaucer calls him the "laureat poete" he refers to the Latin works. Most, like his ambitious but finally unsuccessful epic Africa (celebrating Scipio Africanus), are now almost forgotten, but his often charming Latin letters (such as the letter to posterity) are still worth reading.

Search Medieval History France Petrarca, known to us in English as Francis Petrarch, was one of the most influential poets of the Middle Ages. He studied law until his father's death, at which time he took minor ecclesiastical orders and devoted his time to writing and scholarship. The poems and sonnets written to his inspiration "Laura" have in their turn inspired poets of succeeding generations, most notably Shakespeare and Edmund Spenser. Considered one of the era's finest scholars, Petrarch's focus on reviving Classical literature led him to explore libraries and monasteries all over Italy and in much of France in search of ancient texts. He was a friend and mentor to Boccaccio , and together with the earlier Dante , the works of the three writers are considered to have formed the basis of Italian Humanism in literature.

Extractions: And the loud roar of greedy Acheron. How earnestly should we strive, not to stand on mountain-tops, but to trample beneath us those appetites which spring from earthly impulses. With no consciousness of the difficulties of the way, amidst these preoccupations which I have so frankly revealed, we came, long after dark, but with the full moon lending us its friendly light, to the little inn which we had left that morning before dawn. The time during which the servants have been occupied in preparing our supper, I have spent in a secluded part of the house, hurriedly jotting down these experiences on the spur of the moment, lest, in case my task were postponed, my mood should change on leaving the place, and so my interest in writing flag. (320)You will see, my dearest father, that I wish nothing to be concealed from you, for I am careful to describe to you not only my life in general but even my individual reflections. And I beseech you, in turn, to pray that these vague and wandering thoughts of mine may some time become firmly fixed, and, after having been vainly tossed about from one interest to another, may direct themselves at last toward the single, true, certain, and everlasting good.

Extractions: During the Renaissance scholars began to turn their attentions to the great works of the pre-Christian writers. In rediscovering the classics, these scholars developed a new way of thinking, a new way of viewing themselves and their world. With this sea-change in the way scholars thought about knowledge, they went beyond the recovery of old knowledge to the development of new knowledge. However that rebirth of learning did not burst forth instantly. Many of its early figures still had one foot firmly in the Age of Faith. Although they saw the works of the ancient writers with new eyes, they still looked at the world with the eyes of the medieval scholars. One of these scholars Petrarch, who officially was a member of the clergy of the Catholic Church while he pursued his studies and writing in the new secular literature he and others like him were creating. Francisco Petrarca, whose name is commonly anglicized as Francis Petrarch, was born on July 20, 1304 in Arezzo.

Whilst working in Avignon, on the sixth of April 1327, Petrarch saw her leaving the Church of Saint Clare. He would be obsessed by her beauty for the rest of his life, even though it is not entirely certain if they ever met again. No one really knows who she was, although there are some ideas . Either way, in his agony, Petrarch wrote The Canzoniere : a collection of three hundred and sixty six poems for Laura.
