PETRARCA, Francesco (1304-74)
Trionfi. Commentary by Bernardo Lapini da Siena (c.1430-after 1474). Bologna: [Hannibal Malpiglius], 27 April 1475.
First edition of the commentary by Bernardo Lapini on the Trionfi of Petrarch: ‘by far the most important and influential of the early annotated editions’ (Carnicelli). Written over an extended period that continued until the poet's death, the poem had enormous popularity in the 15th century. ‘The Trionfi provided a wealth of inspiration for artists and craftsmen for well over three centuries [and] up to the middle of the 16th, they probably overshadowed the Canzoniere, the collection upon which the poet’s modern reputation rests’. It is presented in the form of a vision where allegorical figures, accompanied by appropriate characters from history, mythology and the Bible, succeed one another from the initial triumph of Love over the human heart until the final triumph of Eternity over Time. It is listed together with the Canzoniere of 1476 by ISTC but GW lists them separately. HC(+Add) R 12786 & HC 12763; GW M31680; BMC VI 811; Bod-inc P-155; Goff P-380; ISTC ip00380000; D. D. Carnicelli, ‘Bernardo Illicino and the Renaissance Commentaries on Petrarch's "Trionfi"’, Romance Philology, Vol. 23, No. 1 (August 1969).
