Petrarch on the Plague Petrarch endured the Black Death in Parma, and responded to it quite unlike Boccaccio. Petrarch addressed the effects of the plague in highly personal and emotional lamentations. One such lamentation discusses the death of Laura de Noves, whom Petrarch had met at Avignon in his youth. Laura died in Avignon, a victim of the plague that was raging there, and Petrarch learned of her death in a letter he received from a friend in May of 1348. Later he expressed the sadness he felt at her death in some lines he wrote on a manuscript of Virgil: Laura, illustrious by her virtues, and long celebrated in my songs, first greeted my eyes in the days of my youth, the 6th of April, 1327, at Avignon; and in the same city, at the same hour of the same 6th of April, but in the year 1348, withdrew from life, while I was at Verona, unconscious of my loss.... Her chaste and lovely body was interred on the evening of the same day in the church of the Minorites: her soul, as I believe, returned to heaven, whence it came. To write these lines in bitter memory of this event, and in the place where they will most often meet my eyes, has in it something of a cruel sweetness, but I forget that nothing more ought in this life to please me. As the plague raged in Parma, the poet wrote to his brother, who lived in a monastery in Monrieux. His brother was the only survivor out of thirty-five people there, and had remained, alone with his dog, to guard and tend the monastery. Petrarch's letter relies greatly on the classics, much as Boccaccio's account does on the influence of Thucydides. The genuine anguish of Petrarch's letter is as apparent as is the horror of Boccaccio's account:

BECK index Dante, Marsilius, and Petrarch Dante on One Government Defender of Peace by Marsilius Petrarch's Humanism Since individual men find that they grow in prudence and wisdom when they can sit quietly, it is evident that mankind, too, is most free and easy to carry on its work when it enjoys the quiet and tranquility of peace. Dante, On World-Government Justice has greatest power under a unitary government; therefore the best order of the world demands world-government. Dante, On World-Government The human race is at its best when most free. Dante, On World-Government O humanity, in how many storms must you be tossed, how many shipwrecks must you endure, so long as you turn yourself into a many-headed beast lusting after a multiplicity of things! You are ailing in both your intellectual powers, as well as in heart: you pay no heed to the unshakable principles of your higher intellect, nor illumine your lower intellect with experience, nor tune your heart to the sweetness of divine counsel when it is breathed into you through the trumpet of the Holy Spirit: "Behold how good and pleasant it is

46. Petrarch's On The Solitary Life - Articles - House Of Solitude - Hermitary Describes petrarch s essay De Vita Solitaria or on the Solitary Life. http://www.hermitary.com/solitude/petrarch.html

HOME Articles Book Reviews Features ARTICLES: HOUSE OF SOLITUDE The Life of Solitude The reputation of Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) or Petrarch rests on his lyric poetry in the great transition from Latin to vernacular that characterized the Italian Renaissance. So it may be surprising to discover that Petrarch also wrote De Vita Solitaria ("On the Life of Solitude" or "On the Solitary Life"). This long essay marshals forth ancient and medieval authorities recommending retirement from the world. What is noteworthy in this work is that Petrarch justifies a secular and humanist viewpoint in addressing the topic of active versus contemplative life, up to this point a theme dominated by religious authors. For all that, De Vita Solitaria had little impact on contemporaries. Petrarch composed the work in 1346 but took twenty years to deliver it to the bishop of Cavaillon to whom it was dedicated. After favorable but modest circulation, the treatise was printed a few times but not widely translated, and thereafter largely ignored. The De Vita Solitaria De Vita Solitaria is to celebrate the beauty of a life of leisure, retired from crowded haunts and importunate cares and devoted to the enjoyment of reading, of literary creation, peaceful brooding, and the society of a few chosen friends. There is more in this attitude of Horace and Epicurus than of the moralist or Christian mystic.

Hey - we're getting ready (in theory) to tackle sonnets in the next few days, and the text book has Petrarch, Shakespeare, and Pablo Neruda to offer. I will add a few others to this as fare for the kiddies. The two Petrarchan sonnets, of course, are not taken from his religious poetry (from what I can tell). But until reading your blog, I've been guilty of the same ignorance regarding Petrarch. I didn't realize he was a profound religious thinker, nor that he wrote so much religious poetry. October 16, 2007 8:02 PM said... You're sharing my discovery, then. Which irks me because I fancied myself a student of the sonnet. My favorites are: Spencer, GM Hopkins, E. E. Cummings, and Claude McKay. I'm not much of a fan of Shakespeare's sonnets. And I love the individual translations of Petrarch, like those in the Norton anthology. On the Canzoniere as a whole, the jury is still out. And I don't have much of a feel for his religious sensibilities. October 16, 2007 8:36 PM

HOME THE USE OF ANTIQUITY FOR LIFE Before "Antiquity" Petrarch and Boccaccio ... ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Francesco Petrarca, Trionfi e canzoniere Giovanni Boccaccio, Geneologiae deorum Tomb of Petrarch If it were necessary to name "the inventor of antiquity," one could make a good case for the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374), known to English speakers simply as "Petrarch." As a youth Petrarch became devoted to the works of Cicero, and as a young man he wrote a poem, the Africa , with a Roman general as its hero and the works of Virgil and Cicero as its explicit models. Thus Petrarch had begun to value the ancient over the modern. In 1337 he made his first trip to Rome. He spent long days strolling about the city with his friend Giovanni Colonna, a Dominican friar. As Petrarch later recalled in a letter to Colonna, they spent much of their time identifying the sites of Roman myth and history: Here was the castle of Evander, there the temple to Carmenta; here the cave where Cacus dwelt, there the She-Wolf nursing her twins.... Here the spot where Remus crossed over, there the site of the circus races and the rape of the Sabine women....

After 1326 he abandoned the study of law for his true interests, literature and the religious life. He took minor ecclesiastical orders and moved to Avignon, where in 1327 he first saw Laura, the idealized subject of his chaste love and of his celebrated Italian love lyrics; mainly sonnets and odes written over some 20 years, most were included in his Canzoniere or Rime (1360).

His poems shaped much of Elizabethan lyric poetry, and Shakespeare's sonnets could not exist without Petrarch's previous sonnets and canzone. For further information on Petrarch see the entry in the Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia (to be read with the skepticism one brings to any secondary source, wther digital or printed).

Petrarch, Poet Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca), Italian scholar, poet, and humanist, a major force in the development of the Renaissance, famous for his poems addressed to Laura, an idealized beloved whom he met in 1327 and who died in 1348. Attempts have been made to identify her, but all that is known is that Petrarch met Laura in Avignon, where he had entered the household of an influential cardinal. She is generally believed to have been the 19-year-old wife of Hugues de Sade. Petrarch saw her first time in the church of Saint Claire. According to several modern scholars, it is possible that Laura was a fictional character. However, she was a more realistically presented female character than in the conventional songs of the troubadours or in the literature of courtly love. Petrarch was regarded as the greatest scholar of his age. He wrote the majority of his works in Latin, although his sonnets and canzoni written in Italy were equally influential. Petrarch was known as a devoted student of antiquity. He combined interest in classical culture and Christianity and left deep influence on literature throughout Western Europe. A prolific correspondent, he wrote many important letters, and his critical spirit made him a founder of Renaissance humanism. Among Petrarch's Latin works are DE VIRIS ILLUSTRIBUS, the epic poem AFRICA, which has Scipio Africanus as its hero, the dialogue SECRETUM, a debate with St. Augustine, an RERUM MEMORANDARUM LIBRI, an incomplete treatise on the cardinal virtues, DE REMEDIIS UTRIUSQUE FORTUNAE, his most popular Latin prose work, ITINERARIUM, a guide book to the Holy Land, and DE SUI IPSIUS ET MULTORUM IGNORANTIA, against Aristotelians.
