In readings of orations, letters, and poems about Petrarch’s death composed in Paduan and Florentine intellectual circles, this article shows that the well-known praise of Petrarch in these texts is a function of a political competition over Petrarch’s remains and, with them, over the rightful location of his legacy. Boccaccio’s last letter, which stands out for its rhetorical sophistication and cultural sensitivity, intervenes in this largely provincial debate with farsighted theoretical coherence and cosmopolitan political ambition. Animated by a familiar vernacular poetics, Boccaccio theorizes an intellectual entombment of Petrarch in Florence that is consonant with Boccaccio’s ongoing cultural project.

放置彼特拉克的遗产：彼特拉克墓的政治与薄伽丘的最后一封信

在阅读帕杜安和佛罗伦萨知识界撰写的关于彼特拉克之死的演说、信件和诗歌时，本文表明，这些文本中对彼特拉克的众所周知的赞美是对彼特拉克遗体的政治竞争的结果，并且与他们一起，他遗产的正确位置。薄伽丘的最后一封信以其修辞复杂和文化敏感性而著称，以富有远见的理论连贯性和世界政治野心介入了这场主要是省级的辩论。薄伽丘以熟悉的乡土诗学为灵感，将彼特拉克在佛罗伦萨的智力埋葬理论化，这与薄伽丘正在进行的文化项目相吻合。
