Mirrors of Commentary
The exegetical trope of ‘commentaries as mirrors of a text’ lends itself to vast diversification. In approaching classical texts Petrarch deployed contrasting modes of cross-reference exemplified by Servius, and of interpretation in bono and in malo exemplified by St Augustine, both in late antiquity. In the early age of print, commentators on Petrarch’s Rerum vulgarium fragmenta contributed other modes developed by Italian humanists. Milanese co…

Citing Petrarch in Naples
Cariteo's Endimione (1509), a lyric sequence published in Naples shortly after the Spanish takeover of the Aragonese kingdom, advertises a prominent debt to Petrarch's Rime sparse. Commentaries in the earliest printed editions of the latter suggest politically charged models for this sequence. They represent Petrarch, like Cariteo, as a skilled rhetorician, a foreigner in the service of lords and aristocracy outside his ancestral domain, and an a…

Origin and Originality in Renaissance Literature
catches the tone of this heroic boast better than flow of subjectless verbs. Quenched for Saxo's extinxi is both more accurate and more colorful than Hansen's flaccid rid; and retorted arts, strange as it sounds, does more justice to the loaded mutuis insidiis than counterplot. Often Elton preserves some of the Latinate muscle in phrase that Hansen (and Fisher in his translation) weakens. introduction's last section, The Shakespearean Transformat…

Authorizing Petrarch
Kennedy chronicles the process of Petrarch's canonization from the interpretive commentaries found in rare fifteenth- and sixteenth-century editions of Rime sparse through the imitative poetry of early modern writers in Italy, France, and England. The commentaries—each employing a different Petrarch to promote a different ideological paradigm—take a wide range of approaches to important contemporaneous issues relating to politics, class, religion…

Humanist classifications of poetry among the arts and sciences
Humanist theory classified poetry among the arts and sciences in various and sometimes conflicting ways. A given classification affirms not only the priority of some genres, styles, modes, and topics over others, but also the values of a social class or order that poetry might address. Whether for a limited constitutional or patrician republic (Florence, Venice), for a partisan and privileged nobility (the courts of Naples, Urbino, and Ferrara in…
