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. |
