This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: AN ESSAY ON THE CHARACTER PETRARCH. K LE COSE PRESENTI E LE PASSATE MI DANNO GUERRA E LE FUTURE. Petr. P. II. Son. 4. I. About a year before his acquaintance with Laura, Petrarch entered the house of James Colonna, Bishop of Lombes, by whom he was introduced to his brother John, the Cardinal, and appointed tutor to one of their nephews but he was soon considered as an independent friend, so much so, that Stefano Colonna, the head of the family of the greatest power at Rome, and of the greatest influence at Avignon, regarded him as his own son. At this time Avignon was the centre of attraction for men of rank and talent from all nations: Richard of Bury, afterwards bishop of Durham, was there Ambassador of Edward III. Hence Petrarch had early opportunities of acquiring the friendship of the most eminent characters then in Europe, and a more than ordinary insight into the literary and political state of the world. In his thirty-fourth year he obtained from Benedict XII., through the Cardinal's interest, an ecclesiastical benefice and retired to Vaucluse, as to a quiet haven, where he might live unmolested by love and ambition, and untainted with the depravities of that court.?" Reverend and most dignified prelate, my much honoured lord," says Petrarch to the Bishop of Lombes, in a letter, which is here published for the first timef, " you invite me to settle at the court of Rome in Avignon, and fill me with the most brilliant hopes of advancement. Now, had I not previously received many the most unequivocal proofs of your great kindness and affection, I might feel disposed to look upon you as the Hujus familice magnanimum genitorem ita eolui, atque ita sibi acceptus fui, ut inter me et quemlibet filiorum nil diceresin- teresse.?Ep. ad Post.
