D. The Minor Works
The Convivio or Convito was first printed at Florence in 1490. Eighteen canzoni (erroneously numbered as fourteen) were published at the end of a Venetian edition of the Commedia in November, 1491. Fifteen genuine Dantesque canzoni, with others wrongly ascribed to him, are contained in a collection printed at Milan and at Venice in 1518. The first partially complete edition of Dante’s lyrical poetry is contained in the first four books of Sonetti e canzoni di diversi antichi autori toscani in dieci libri raccolte, edited by Bernardo di Giunta at Florence in 1527. The Vita Nuova was first printed at Florence in 1576; but its lyrics had been given in the first book of the 1527 Sonetti e canzoni. The De Vulgari Eloquentia was published in Trissino’s Italian translation at Vicenza in 1529, and in the original Latin at Paris in 1577; the Monarchia in 1559 at Basle. The latter work had been translated into Italian by Marsilio Ficino in the latter half of the fifteenth century. The Letter to Henry VII. was first published in an old Italian version in 1547; in its original Latin by Witte in 1827.
