Dear comrades in strophe,
It is with great joy, as author of the [yet unfinished] cycle <u>Jubal and Erato</u> that I find myself with you in this circle.
It was brought to my attention as I was searching usenet for "Petrarch". Therefore, not as the hyperproverbial canned meat but as an alert would I like to share with all consocios two sites:
The Petrarchan Grotto . This site, under continual revision, attempts to unify under one page the best extent of Petrarchan culture and texts in post-Gutenberg media. Among the texts that appear or to which there are links: The Canzoniere, I Trionfi (with the rime di corrispondenza and the rime stravaganti), Africa, Bucolicum carmen, Epistola M. Tullio Ciceroni, Vita de Numa Pompilio, Vita de Romulo, as well as many pages of essays, bibliographies, etc. In addition, not satisfied with the sole inclusion of the nonetheless comprehensive Ser Petracco, are links to Dante, the
Origini, the Hypnerotomachia Polyphili, the Vite di Vasari (complete, in Italian, 1568 edition), and the
Provençal Cançonier .
In addition, for those who wish to engage in discussions on Petrarcha et alia, sermo ad libidinem omnia, I have founded the
Petrarca apud ripas Sorgae , on Yahoo, and invite all interested to join us.
Pax moxque ac valete,
Sethus Philadelphiota ait.
