PETRARCA, Francesco (1304-1374). Canzoniere e Trionfi. – BRUNUS ARETINUS, Leonardus (c.1370-1444). Vita di Petrarca . [Sant'Orso]: Leonardus Achates de Basilea, 1474. Rare early edition of Petrarch's famous and highly influential poetry in Italian. It was first printed in 1470 and all early editions are rare on the market. No other copy copy of the seventh - or any earlier - edition is recorded as sold in ABPC/RBH, and only 18 copies, at least 5 of which are imperfect, are listed in ISTC. This edition contains the second appearance in print of Bruni's life of Petrarch, which helped spread the poet's fame and reputation. Some of the annotations include verses of his famous poem Caldi Sospiri , addressed to Laura, presumably French Count Hugues de Sade's wife, Laura de Noves (1310-1348), with whom he is said to have fallen madly in love at first sight, yet would never know nor have. HC 12759; BMC VII 1026; CIBN P-181; IGI 7522; Goff P-377. Folio (203 x 138mm). Without first and last blanks (fol. 8 remargined [and possibly supplied], fo. 65v and 66r [marked 57-58] crossed through as censored but legible, a few deft repairs, some spotting and staining, last few leaves strengthened at hinge). Later vellum, manuscript title on spine (recased, lightly soiled). Provenance : 17th-century ink quotations from Petrarch.
