Tre Corone
(

), which consists of the three great Italian authors of the 14th century – Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio.
Examining the first commentaries on Dante’s
Commedia
, the book argues that the elaboration of the canon of the

The investigation moves from Guglielmo Maramauro’s commentary – circa 1373, and the first exegetical text in which we can find explicit quotations from Petrarch and Boccaccio – to the major commentators of the second half of the 14th century: Benvenuto da Imola, Francesco da Buti and the Anonimo Fiorentino.
