Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Petrarch´s Letters to Classical Authors It is hardly necessary to dwell upon Petrarch´s extensive correspondence. He was the leader of the learned men of his age; and it is common knowledge that all his prominent contemporaries-whether in the political world, or in the religious world, or in the scholarly world- were numbered among his friends. Corresponding so incessantly with all men and on all topics, Petrarch´s letters soon grew into an unmanageable mass. One day in 1359 (Frac., Note to Fam., XXIV, 13) Petrarch, with a sigh, consigned to the flames a thousand or more papers, consisting of short poems and of letters, merely to avoid the irksome task of sifting and of correcting them. He then noticed a few papers lying in a comer, which (after some hesitation) he spared because they had already been recopied and arranged by his secretary (Praefatio ad Socratem, I, p. 15).
