Excerpt from The Introduction of Classical Metres Into Italian Poetry, and Their Development to the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century
The material for this Dissertation was collected chiefly in the libraries of Florence, Italy, and especially in the Magliabecchiana, or Biblioteca Nazionale. The book Versi, et Regole de la Nuova Poesia Toscana, of which only two copies exist, was sent to me from the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale Vittoric Emanuele in Rome. Later it was found that another copy existed in Florence. Yannoleni's Rime Oneste was procured for me by Loescher of Florence, who obtained it by advertising in the press.
