    Extractions: Pronunciation Key Petrarch or Francesco Petrarca O p A , Italian poet and humanist, one of the great figures of Italian literature. He spent his youth in Tuscany and Avignon and at Bologna. He returned to Avignon in 1326, may have taken lesser ecclesiastic orders, and entered the service of Cardinal Colonna, traveling widely but finding time to write numerous lyrics, sonnets, and canzoni. At Avignon in 1327 Petrarch first saw Laura, who was to inspire his great vernacular love lyrics. His verse won growing fame, and in 1341 he was crowned laureate at Rome. Petrarch's friendship with the republican Cola di Rienzi inspired the famous ode Italia mia. Secretum, a dialogue, Petrarch revealed the conflict he felt between medieval asceticism and individual expression and glory. Yet in his poetry he ignored medieval courtly conventions and defined true emotions. In his portrait of Laura he surpassed the medieval picture of woman as a spiritual symbol and created the image of a real woman. He also perfected the sonnet form and is considered by many to be the first modern poet. He influenced contemporary historiography through his epic

    Extractions: Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) (1304-1374) Biography of Petrarch Encyclopedia Britannica Selected poems of Petrarch in side-by-side Italian and English translation. The following literal translation of Petrarch's Sonnet 140, translated by Wyatt and Surrey , is taken from p. 9 of The English Sonnet Love, who lives and reigns in my thought and keeps his principal seat in my heart, comes like an armed warrior into my forehead, there places himself and there sets up his banner. She who teaches me to love and to suffer and who wishes that reason, modesty and reverence should restrain my great desire and burning hope, thrusts aside and disdains our ardour. Wherefore Love in terror flies to my heart, abandoning all his enterprise, and laments and trembles; there he hides himself and no more appears without. What can I do, when my lord is afraid, except stay with him until the last hour? For he makes a fine end who dies loving well. In his interesting discussion of the sonnet, Cruttwell points out that although Surrey's translation is the more "faithful" one, Wyatt has created the finer English poem. He attributes some of the challenge of translation to the "full-bodied" sound of the abstract words in Italian as opposed to English and also to different values of the Italian and the pragmatic English literary cultures.

    Extractions: Francesco Petrarch was an Italian poet and scholar who started a movement to reevaluate the literature of ancient Rome. That process of rediscovery led to the Renaissance. At the age of 66, Francesco Petrarch wrote a "Letter to Posterity" explaining what he had learned during his lifetime. Greeting. It is possible that some word of me may have come to you, even though this is doubtful since an insignificant and obscure name will scarcely penetrate far in either time or space. If, however, you should have heard of me you may desire to know what manner of man I was. I was, in truth, a poor mortal like yourself, neither very exalted in my origin, nor, on the, hand of the most humble birth. My youth was gone before I realized it. I was carried away by the strength of manhood. But a riper age brought me to my senses and taught me by experience the truth I had long before read in booksthat youth and pleasure are vanity.

    Extractions: Francesco Petrarch The founder of Renaissance Christian humanism was Francesco Petrarch. Born of an exiled Florentine family in 1304, Petrarch was urged by his bourgeois father to study law. Petrarch came upon the works of Cicero in the course of his reading and was led to a passion for all the classics. When his father died, he gave up law and turned to a life of scholarship, he was obliged to pursue and disseminate learning, secure individual integrity, and harmonize classical genius with divine revelation. It was Petrarch who first undertook the collection of ancient manuscripts. He persuaded others to join him in a search through monastic and cathedral libraries that took him all over Italy and into France and Germany as well. His private library, the first of its kind, became a model for scholars and educated gentlemen, his enthusiasm was contagious. Following his example many sons of the well-to-do took up the search and began to build their own libraries. Wealthy patrons became interested and by the 15th century had founded such famous libraries as the Laurentian in Florence, St. Mark's in Venice, and the Vatican in Rome. Petrarch lived only a generation after Dante, but in these two figures we can see the shift from medieval to modern times. His irrepressible pursuit of fame culminated in a spectacular ceremony in Rome in 1341, and he was crowned with a laurel wreath as the foremost poet and scholar of his time and thus becoming the first poet laureate of modern times. By his inexhaustible industry in scholarship he brought the mind of western Europe into sympathetic contact with classical antiquity. In the ensuing centuries Christian humanism came to mean the cultivation of the human personality so that the individual, with liberated intelligence and talent, could lead a life of dignity, self reliance, and creativeness. His "Letter to Posterity": I have always possessed an extreme contempt for wealth; not that riches are not desirable in themselves, but because I hate the anxiety and care which are invariably associated with them. Francesco Petrarch died in 1374.

    Extractions: France Petrarca, known to us in English as Francis Petrarch, was one of the most influential poets of the Middle Ages. He studied law until his father's death, at which time he took minor ecclesiastical orders and devoted his time to writing and scholarship. The poems and sonnets written to his inspiration "Laura" have in their turn inspired poets of succeeding generations, most notably Shakespeare and Edmund Spenser.

    Extractions: Birth: Occupation: Petrarch was crowned poet laureate in Rome in 1341, and was a classical scholar, diplomat, historian and philosopher. Petrarch wrote a great deal of poetry, much of it in the vernacular, making it easily accessible to those of the general public who were literate. His most famous collection of poems is his Canzoniere, a collection of 366 love songs, in which he expresses his love of the earthly things that surround him. Most of it was inspired by his idealised love of a beautiful girl named Laura; a symbol of spiritual beauty and erotic attraction. It was his poetry more than anything which brought him the fame and recognition he desired. His works made popular the sonnet and influenced poets such as Chaucer, Ronsard, Spencer, and Shakespeare . Out of Petrarch's many sonnets, perhaps his most famous are those written for Laura. He first saw her in 1327 in the church of Santa Clara in Avignon, but to his dismay she was already married. His love for her was to be never more than platonic. For him she was a vision of idealised beauty, of love, of desire and of what he could not attain in this world. Petrarch argued that all philosophical thought and rhetoric should have the purpose of making men virtuous, enabling them to cultivate their lives into something of value. He believed however, that men would never be able to achieve complete self-transcendence, and had this to say about his own lot in life:
