Material to Petrarca

Michelino Deck with 16 trumps and Greek gods as motifs. Perhaps it mirrors a direct influence from Petrarca on the first steps of the Trionfi decks. Filippo Visconti seems to reflect Petrarcas love to the Daphne theme.

Cary-Yale Deck with probably also 16 trumps and a strong preference to the 7 virtues. It might mirror a second, perhaps even more intensive influence. Filippo seems to reflect Petrarcas 6 Trionfi-chapters in combination with his personal love to chess.

The Petrarchan Grotto is a very rich site with the Italian text of the poem Trionfi and informs you in a lot of directions about Petrarca inclusive biographical data.

"Trionfi" , another version of the poem also in Italian, is better readable with greater letters.

Early editions shows you some of the early editions of Petrarcas Trionfi-poem.

Familiar letters in Petrarcas own hand inform you about details in Petrarcas life.

Decamerone Web is a great site about Bocacchio.
