Unlike his model Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio did not organize his lyrics in a canzoniere. Only in the 16th century did the famous Raccolta Bartoliniana reconstruct a collection of 100 sonnets, more than half without any other textual corroboration, and the basis of every successive edition. Following a groundbreaking essay by De Robertis, the present edition recognizes equal authority in the rest of the tradition, as fragmentary and contradictory as it is. The texts re-establish many lessons challenged to this point, with new directions for interpretation and new proof for attribution. The order is also new, no longer pseudo-biographical, but in the Bartoliniana sequence shared by the most authoritative alternative sources. Thus, for the first time, the volume provides the reader with a complete source of all the elements necessary for an independent evaluation of the size and character of what can be considered, after and alongside Petrarch's greatest work, the most important and original experiment in lyric of our 14th century
