Notes

Rhymes are listed alphabetically, but the order is particular because it is done according to the letter or syllable following the stressed one (as a consequence under the heading ‘ia’, ‘opia’ precedes ‘aria’) and any alphabeticization is made in relation to the stressed letter (therefore ‘ema’ preceeds ‘ima’). Lines of Petrarch’s poems are listed according to the sequence RVF, Triumphi, disperse. First letter of Petrarch’s lines, reference to the poem, and rhyme headings are in red ink.
