Scholarly Commentary

Introduction

Cino's sonnet is particularly notable for having elicited Dante's elaborate reply in his “Epistola III”. DGR's source was the text in Ciampi's Vita e Poesie di Messer Cino da Pistoia (page 151), which is fairly corrupt. For a good modern edition see Marti (pages 734-735).

See commentary for DGR's translation.
