description This article assesses the strategies adopted by several fifteenth-century texts that provide lists of vernacular poets, including pre-Petrarchan authors. The analysis has three main aims. First, it explores the ways in which these texts are indebted to the enumeration of vernacular poets in Petrarch's Triumphus Cupidinis, IV. 28–42. Second, it considers the divergences between them in order to cast light on changing canons and evolving attitudes to the poets who are both included and excluded. Third, it situates the texts studied in relation to the knowledge and appreciation of pre-Petrarchan vernacular authors in fifteenth-century Italy before the Raccolta Aragonese.
