Snow 1977, no. 110: "Interprets Alfonso's criticism of Pero da Ponte, CV 70, to mean that the best Provençal models were not imitated by da Ponte, which weakened his quality as a poet. There are, relevant to CV 79, 77, and 74, and to CB 370, 360, and 365, discussions of Alfonso's admiration for Provençal poetic models. Bertoni's view, accepted by many, began a continuing debate on this particular strophe's meaning." |
