Folgore da San Geminiano. “Sonnet. To the Same (To the Guelf Faction).”

Basis text: Line numbering scheme for annotations keyed to Early Italian Poets text.

Glosses:

7  DGR's translation is quite free here; he departs from the sharp particularity of Folgore's original, where the “traitor” Gano di Maganza is referenced.

9  DGR has an historical note to his translation; he gives details from the battle of Montecatini.
