Specialist Notes
THE FLORENTINE RESPONSE TO ALDO'S PETRARCA (1501), EDITED BY FRANCESCO ALFIERI. EXTREMELY RARITY.
Alfieri was editor and corrector in Florence at Filippo Giunta's printing house, which on March 10, 1504 (Florentine style 1503) printed Le cose volgari del Petrarca, taking the format, title and italic italic character from the well-known, innovative 1501 edition by Aldo Manuzio, edited by Bembo: printing renewed on August 17, 1510, and then in April 1515, this time with the title Canzoniere et Triomphi . Alfieri prefaced the three editions with short prefaces, noting in the first that he had freed the text "from its hidden and apparent wounds" (but, in reality, the edition is quite incorrect). In the third edition he added the Triumph of Fame. He signed it "Fr. Alph. Flor.", that is, "Franciscus Alpherius Florentinus".
