The Canzoniere, or, Rerum vulgarium fragmenta by
Francesco Petrarca(
)
16 editions published between 1996 and 2005 in English and held by 1,399 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Petrarch's personification of the hapless lover has become one of our major models. Indeed, in many of his poems of the pain and the bitter pleasure of love, we recognize a vivid and timely picture of existential man. Humble sinner, aesthete, contemplative, man of the world, secretly tormented spirit, droll observer, and advocate of life, Petrarch's protagonist in these poems possesses a personality as complex as was the nature of his time. The 366 poems of Petrarch's Canzoniere form one of the most influential books of poetry in Western literature. Varied in form style, and subject matter, these "scattered rhymes" contain metaphors and conceits that have been absorbed into the literature and language of love. In this definitive bilingual edition of the Canzoniere, Mark Musa provides verse translations, annotations, and an introduction co-authored with Barbara Manfredi

28 editions published between 1948 and 2007 in English and held by 432 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Despite our admiration for Renaissance achievement in the arts and sciences, in literature and classical learning, the rich and diversified philosophical thought of the period remains largely unknown. This volume illuminates three major currents of thought dominant in the earlier Italian Renaissance: classical humanism (Petrarch and Valla), Platonism (Ficino and Pico), and Aristotelianism (Pomponazzi). A short and elegant work of the Spaniard Vives is included to exhibit the diffusion of the ideas of humanism and Platonism outside Italy." [Back cover]

)
11 editions published between 1986 and 1996 in English and held by 426 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In Rome on May 20, 1347, Cola di Rienzo overthrew the rule of the barons and the pope. Cola's revolution then attempted to restore the greatness of the medieval commune, revive the ancient Roman Republic, and usher in a new age of liberty, justice and peace. This bright hope soon changed to disillusionment, as pope and barons conspired to isolate and then topple Rienzo. After a period of exile and wandering, he traveled to Prague where he was eventually arrested, imprisoned by the Inquisition, and turned over to his arch-enemy, Pope Clement VI.

Scattered rhymes by
Orlando Consort(
)
4 editions published in 2008 in French and held by 370 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Machaut's extraordinary Messe de Nostre Dome was not only the first complete mass setting in history, but also the first whose composer can be identified, making it emblematic of the Ars Nova style of the 14th century. In this recording, the Orlando Consort performs the mass in parallel with a work by Tarik O'Regan which was inspired by it. Scattered Rhymes links two texts from teh same period as Machaut's mass, on by Petrarch, the other an anonymous English poem. Both of them subtly combine earthyly and divine love, while the music blends polyphonic tradition and contemporary inspiration
