Francesco Petrarch The founder of Renaissance Christian humanism was Francesco Petrarch. Born of an exiled Florentine family in 1304, Petrarch was urged by his bourgeois father to study law. Petrarch came upon the works of Cicero in the course of his reading and was led to a passion for all the classics. When his father died, he gave up law and turned to a life of scholarship, he was obliged to pursue and disseminate learning, secure individual integrity, and harmonize classical genius with divine revelation. It was Petrarch who first undertook the collection of ancient manuscripts. He persuaded others to join him in a search through monastic and cathedral libraries that took him all over Italy and into France and Germany as well. His private library, the first of its kind, became a model for scholars and educated gentlemen, his enthusiasm was contagious. Following his example many sons of the well-to-do took up the search and began to build their own libraries. Wealthy patrons became interested and by the 15th century had founded such famous libraries as the Laurentian in Florence, St. Mark's in Venice, and the Vatican in Rome. Francesco Petrarch to Posterity [p.59] Greeting.-It is possible that some word of me may have come to you, though even this is doubtful, since an insignificant and obscure name will scarcely penetrate far in either time or space. If, however, you should have heard of me, you may desire to know what manner of man I was, or what was the outcome of my labours, especially those of which some description or, at any rate, the bare titles may have reached you.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Petrarch Petrarch ) was an Italian scholar, poet , and humanist , who is credited with having given the Renaissance its name. He traveled widely and wrote many learned works, but his most enduring writings by far are the poems he addressed to Laura, a mysterious beloved whom he may never have met. Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca in Italian) was born in Arezzo to a notary and his wife, and spent his early childhood in the village of Incisa, near Florence . His father, Ser Petracco, had been banished from Florence in 1302 by the Black Guelphs, due to his political connections with Dante . Petrarch spent much of his early life at Avignon , where his family moved to follow Pope Clement V who moved there in 1309 during a papal schism, and nearby Carpentras, both in Vaucluse . He studied at Montpellier (1319 - 23) and moved to Bologna , where he studied law in 1323-25. Though trained in law and religion, Petrarch was primarily interested in writing and Latin literature, sharing this passion with his friend Giovanni Boccaccio . In search for old Latin classics and manuscripts, he traveled through France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. With his first large scale work

Unit 7: Renaissance Italian Humanism Life of Petrarch From Leonardo Bruni. "The Life of Petrarch." As reproduced in The Humanism of Leonardo Bruni: Selected Texts , trans. Gordon Griffiths, James Hankins, and David Thompson (Binghamton, NY: Medieval and Renaissance Texts, 1987), 95-98. Francesco Petrarch, a man of great genius and no less virtue, was born at Arezzo in the Borgo dell’Orto, shortly before sunrise on the twenty-first of July 1304. The name of his father was Petracolo; his grandfather was named Parenzo; they were originally from Ancisa. Petracolo, the father, lived in Florence and was very active in the Republic: he was sent out as an ambassador of the city on many very serious occasions, and in the city hall he was for a time a scribe of the Riformagioni. After the death of his father he became his own master and dedicated himself openly to those studies of which he had earlier been a disciple in secret for fear of his father. Quickly his fame began to spread; he came to be called not Francesco Petracchi, but Francesco Petrarca, his name made greater out of respect for his virtues. He had such grace of intellect that he was the first to bring back into the light of understanding the sublime studies, so long fallen and ignored. Having grown since then, they have reached their present heights, of which I want to speak briefly. So that I may be better understood, I would like to return to earlier times. When the Lombards, who had occupied Italy for 240 years, were chased out and the Italian people thus recovered their liberty, the Tuscan cities and others began to recuperate. They devoted work to studies and began to polish their coarse style somewhat. Thus little by little they regained their vigor, although they were weak and lacked real judgment for any fine style, since they paid attention mainly to vernacular rhyme. In this way until the time of Dante few knew the literary style and those few knew it rather poorly, as we said in the

At last, in such a triumph as great Rome has never witnessed, Scipio ascends the Capital and offers his thanks to the propitious gods. Within the fame of Jove he stores a mountain of pure gold and treasures vast and copious to enrich his country for all time. But for himself his title is enough; no particle of wealth he carries with him to his home. His sword, beyond all doubt, has cleared the way for conquests yet to come, assuring Rome of world empire. With Carthage overthrown, no nation henceforth will deem it a shame to wear the yoke and call the men of Rome, Quirinus' sons, invincible in war, the rightful lords and rulers of the world. Wearing his crown of laurel, Scipio comes down again from the Tarpeian rock and traverses once more the joyous town. Upon the right hand of so great a guide stands Ennius, his temples also girt

These range in date from the editio princeps of 1470, printed in Venice by Vindelinus de Spira, to the edition of 1486 with its fashionable large type for the verse and smaller type for the commentary. Attention can be drawn to the beautiful and accurate Lauer edition of 1471 and three different Venetian editions of 1473. Manchester also holds two editions not found in the incomparable Willard Fiske Collection at Cornell University Library : the 1477 Neapolitan edition by Arnold of Brussels, and a Venetian edition of 1480 by an unknown printer. 80 of the approximately 150 editions published in the 16th century are present including all the Aldine editions, the counterfeit Lyonese copies, and two of the ten vellum copies of the 1501 edition. One of the latter is beautifully illuminated and is in a fine embroidered binding. The Library also holds numerous editions of Petrarch's Latin works, including the earliest complete edition, printed by Amerbach in Basel in 1496.

Petrarch, Rime Two translations by Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey The Italian poet Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) was an older contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer. He died in 1374, and his life was shaped by the forces of the rising Italian renaissance, the growth of humanism, and the Black Death of 1348-50, which carried off the great lyrical love of his life, Laura. The bulk of his poetry is addressed to an idealized Laura; it is both an outgrowth of mediaeval traditions of so-called "courtly love" and something that hearkens back to the lyric poetry of the ancient world. Petrarch has been considered in many ways to be the literary father of the Italian renaissance, as Giotto was its artistic father; he spent many years of his life recovering and collecting the works of ancient Latin authors, both the poets and Cicero. Perhaps the finest of Petrarch's works are his sonnets, which appear in a collection called simply the "Rime" (two syllables it's Italian); the form was immediately popular throughout Europe, and has never entirely gone out of fashion in English. The sonnet is a poem of exactly fourteen lines; typically it falls into two sections, the first eight lines setting up the problem, and the last six taking the poem in a different direction. Not all sonnets are in exactly the same meter, but there is typically an exceedingly tight rhyme scheme. The Petrarchan sonnet has a rhyme scheme of: ABBA ABBA CDC CDC Because Italian is a language extremely rich in rhyming possibilities, this is not especially hard to achieve. You will note the repetition of common end sounds (especially in -a) that this allows here. English, on the other hand, is a very rhyme-poor language, and bringing the sonnet form into English was a constant challenge for the poets who took it up. Variant forms of the sonnet appeared almost immediately, but the best known was surely the Shakespearean sonnet, which has the scheme:

PETRARCH PETRARCH (1304-1374). Francesco Petrarca, the great Italian poet and first true reviver of learning in medieval Europe, was born at Arezzo on the 20th of July 1304. His father Petracco held a post of notary in the Florentine Rolls Court of the Riformagioni; but, having espoused the same cause as Dante during the quarrels of the Blacks and Whites, Petracco was expelled from Florence by that decree of the 27th of January 1302 which condemned Dante to lifelong exile. With his wife he 6 The whole range in which Petra lies is called Jebel esh-Sharht, but it is doubtful whether the name of the god was derived from that of the mountain, see Ed. Meyer, bc. cit. p. 268 and Cooke, NSI. p.218. First mentioned by E. L. Wilson (1891), rediscovered by G. L. Robinson (1900), described by S. I. Curtis, P. E. F. Q. St. 1900), and Savignac, Rev. bibi. (1903); with full plan and photographs). On the 6th of April 1327 happened the most famous event of Petrarchs history. He saw Laura for the first time in the church of St Clara at Avignon. Who Laura was remains uncertain still. That she was the daughter of Audibert de Noves and the wife of Hugh de Sade rests partly on tradition and partly on documents which the abb de Sade professed to have copied from originals in the 18th century. Nothing is now extant to prove that, if this lady really existed, she was the Laura of the Canzoniere, while there are reasons for suspecting that the abb was either the fabricator of a romance flattering to his own family, or the dupe of some previous impostor. We may, however, reject the sceptical hypothesis that Laura was a mere figment of Petrarchs fancy; and, if we accept her personal reality, the poems of her lover demonStrate that she was a married woman with whom he enjoyed a respectful and not very intimate friendship.
