Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Petrarch, Vol. 1 of 2
Domenico Aretino, and, not long afterwards, Sicco Polentono, Lionardo Aretino, and Gianozzo Ma netti, sought to satisfy this demand. But all these writers were destitute of literary research; they were ample praisers, but negligent inquirers their meagre and inaccurate accounts of the poet were almost all drawn either from his Epistle to Pos terity, or compiled from vulgar traditions, which jumbled together the great and the trivial, the true and the false.
