⁂ The commentary by Lapini is ‘by far the most important and influential of the early annotated editions’ (D. D. Carnicelli, ‘Bernardo Illicino and the Renaissance Commentaries on Petrarch's "Trionfi"’, Romance Philology, Vol. 23, No. 1 (August 1969)). The printers also produced an edition of the Canzoniere shortly afterwards (30 March 1478), which is sometimes found bound with the present work.
