#petrarch

When I teach #palaeography I tell my students that the history of handwriting is the history of people. This #manuscript proves it: copied personally by #Petrarch, one of the great poets of the Italian #Renaissance, it ends abruptly at the top of a page, when Petrarch suddenly died in July 1374. We only know this context thanks to painstaking palaeographical and historical research.
