Synopsis:

One of the smallest manuscripts with miniatures in existence is this one of Petrarch’s Trionfi, which is kept in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid with the call number Vitr. 22-4.

The craftsmanship of the painting of this tiny Petrarch is breathtaking, as it is the product of an exceptional artistic sense and a truly extraordinary technical skill, as it must have been produced using a magnifying glass and an ultra-fine brush in order to add the incredibly slender gold-leaf decoration. According to Durrieu, “there is nothing more delicate than the seven miniatures on a single page that it contains, surrounded by an exquisite decoration in the margin which is repeated on the pages opposite which contain the text”. He linked the manuscript to another larger Petrarch copied in 1475 for Lorenzo de Médicis, which he attributed to the illuminator Francesco d’Antonio del Chierico. However, more recently, Annarosa Garzelli identified it as a work from the late period of the Florentine illuminator Ricciardo di Nanni.

 The manuscript was brought from Italy by Cardinal Zelada in the 18th century. It contains a Life of Petrarch and the Trionfi, i.e., the poems written in terza rima which tell of the Triumphs of Love, Chastity, Death, Fame and Time.

Bound in red velvet and silk, with among other motifs embroidered in silver relief, cardinal’s hat, surely in reference to the dignity of its last owner, Cardinal Zelada. Very fine miniatures, on whole pages, preceding each of the "Triumphs"; exquisite decoration in the margins of opposite facing pages. Titles in gold lettering, and small initials alternating in gold and blue at the beginning of each triplet. The mounting is of very fine white vellum. Written in old Italian.

The Spanish translation which accompanies this edition, "en la misma medida y numero de versos que el thoscano tiene", (in the same size and number of verses that the Tuscany has) is the work of the poet Hernando de Hoces, secretary of the Duke of Medinaceli in 1554.
