Abstract

This article examines Codex XIII D 76, which is housed at the Biblioteca Nazionale in Naples (in the “Fondo Nazionale” collection) and contains Petrarch’s Canzoniere and Trionfi, as well as a handful of poems by other authors added by the main hand. The article offers a critical edition of the latter, some of which belong to lyric love poetry, while others are moralizing and gnomic poems. The works not by Petrarch are a linguistic hybrid, in which northern features coexist alongside those from central and southern Italy. The manuscript contains an otherwise unknown witness of the sonnet “Colui che batte”, attributed to Bosone da Gubbio, thereby offering some variants worthy of consideration for a critical edition of the text.
