    Petrarch: Books and the Life of the Mind
    A paper presented at the Phi Alpha Theta Regional Conference, May, 1995, Illinois State University
    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.

    PETRARCH'S SECRET. Trans. William H. Draper
    (Connecticut: Hyperion Press) AUTHOR'S PREFACE When I heard her thus speak, though my fear still clung about me, with trembling voice I made reply in Virgil's words "What name to call thee by, O virgin fair, I know not, for thy looks are not of earth And more than mortal seems thy countenances" I am that Lady, she answered, whom you have depicted in your poem Africa with rare art and skill, and for whom, like another Amphion of Thebes, you have with poetic hands built a fair and glorious Palace in the far West on Atlas's lofty peak. Be not afraid, then, to listen and to look upon the face of her who, as your finely-wrought allegory proves, has been well known to you from of old. Augustine answered her: 'You are my guide, my Counselor, my Sovereign, my Ruler; what is it, then, you would have me say in your presence ?" "I would," she replied, "that some human voice speak to the ears of this mortal man. He will better bear to hear truth so. But seeing that whatever you shall say to him he will take as said by me, I also will be present in person during your discourse." To avoid the too frequent iteration of the words "said I," "said he," and to bring the personages of the Dialogue, as it were, before one's very eyes, I have acted on Cicero's method and merely placed the name of each interlocutor before each paragraph. My dear Master learned this mode himself from Plato. But to cut short all further digression, this is how Augustine opened the discourse.

    "This is a brilliant, original, and extraordinarily learned book that should have a major impact on all serious future Petrarch studies."Charles Trinkaus, author of The Poet as Philosopher DESCRIPTION (back to top) Marjorie Boyle is the first theologian to write about Petrarch the poet as theologian. With her extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of the theological, historical, and literary contexts of her subject, she presents an entirely original and revisionary account of Petrarch's literary career. Petrarch, she argues, has been misunderstood by the division of his literary enterprise into two sidesPetrarch the poet, Petrarch the humanist reformerstudied by literary critics and historians respectively. Boyle demonstrates that the division is artificial, that the two sides are part of the same prophetic mission. Petrarch's Genius is an important book that deserves to be read by all Petrarch scholarstheologians as well as literary critics and historians.

Contact us This comparative study focuses on the shaping influence of Italy’s greatest Renaissance poet, Francesco Petrarca, on the lyric collections of France’s most celebrated Renaissance poet, Pierre de Ronsard. By helping to define the nature of Ronsard’s particular response to Petrarch, Sara Sturm-Maddox revises the history of French Renaissance "Petrarchism." Unlike previous works, which compared individual poems by these authors in terms of source and imitation, this study traces the larger lines of Ronsard’s engagement with the underlying "story" and evolving self-portrait of the Petrarchan lyric protagonist. Sturm-Maddox argues that Ronsard’s imitative strategy in three of his lyric collections—the

    Fr. The Tragedy of Mariam, the Faire Queene of Jewry From Act 3, Scene 3
    CHORUS
    : "Tis not enough for one that is a wife
    To keep her spotless from an act of ill:
    But from suspicion she should free her life,
    And bare herself of power as well as will.
    'Tis not so glorious for her to be free.
    As by her proper self restrained to be. When she hath spacious ground to walk upon,
    Why on the ridge should she desire to go?
    It is no glory to forbear alone
    Those things that may her honor overthrow. But 'tis thankworthy if she will not take All lawful liberties for honor's sake. That wife her hand against her fame cloth rear, That more than to her lord alone will give A private word to any second ear, And though she may with reputation live, Yet though most chaste, she doth her glory blot, And wounds her honor, though she kills it not. When to their husbands they themselves do bind, Do they not wholly give themselves away? Or give they but their body, not their mind, Reserving that, though best, for others' prey? No sure, their thoughts no more can be their own

    Petrarch Amor, che nel penser mio vive e regna
    e 'l suo seggio maggior nel mio cor tene,
    talor armato ne la fronte vene;
    ivi si loca et ivi pon sua insegna. Quella ch'amare e sofferir ne 'nsegna,
    e vol che 'l gran desio, l'accesa spene,
    ragion, vergogna e reverenza affrene,
    di nostro ardir fra se stessa si sdegna. Onde Amor paventoso fugge al core,
    lasciando ogni sua impresa, e piange e trema;
    ivi s'asconde e non appar piu fore. Che poss'io far, temendo il mio signore,
    se non star seco infin a l'ora estrema?
    che bel fin fa chi ben amando more. Translation Love, who lives and reigns in my thoughts and has his principal seat in my heart, sometimes comes armed to my forehead; there he takes his place and there he sets his flag. She who teaches us to love and to endure, and wishes that reason, shame, and respect should bridle our great desire, our kindled hope, is offended within herself at our temerity. And so Love flees terrified to my heart, abandoning his every enterprise, and weeps and trembles; there he hides and appears no more without. What can I do, if my Lord is afraid, but stay with him until the final hour? For he makes a good end who dies loving well.

    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:

    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
