Transcriber’s Note: Below is a list of printer errors that have been corrected in the Italian sonnets, by reference to the 1964 critical edition of Il Canzoniere edited by Gianfranco Contini, available at [Liber Liber]. The translator of this book probably used as his source an edition in which spelling and punctuation were somewhat modernized; these modernizations have not been altered in this e-book. Spacing of elisions (such as “ch’ascolti”) has been normalized. The original book was printed almost entirely in italics, which are not marked as such in this e-text. Printer errors in the English introduction have been corrected without note.
