The Berlin Petrarch comprises eighteen miniatures illustrating the allegorical Trionfi ("Triumphs") and six more poems by Petrarch. The manuscript was created in France around 1560. The six Triumphs miniatures are accompanied by French verse distichs describing the images. Unusually, the miniature for the triumph of Divinity (Eternity) over Time shows a Throne of Grace Trinity having defeated not only Time but also Love, Chastity, Death, and Fame (fol. 9v). The remaining twelve miniatures illustrate poems focused on the death of Petrarch's beloved Laura and are accompanied by translations into French of Petrarch's Italian verse.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
