Petrarch’s Rimes are frequently edited and commented upon. 16th-century commentators do not only provide explanations of words, verses, or sections, but also present their own observations as well as related texts, e.g., Petrarch’s Canzoniere. Graphology and editorial guidelines are combined with exegetic and interpretative processes, so that the end result presents both an interpretation of the Rimes and fundamental ways of dealing with vernacular poetry in general.
