Francesco Petrarca

Francesco Petrarca. De remediis utriusque fortunae. Heidelberg, ca. 1490.

The printer of this second edition of De remediis utriusque fortunae is thought to have been Heinrich Knoblochtzer, based on a comparison of the typefaces that appear in this work with those used in other Heidelberg editions. Knoblochtzer was one of the most prominent early German printers. Morris Bishop described Petrarch’s Of a Remedy Against Fortune as “the most medieval of Petrarch’s works.”
