This late 16th century price list of Italian books, a testimony to the diffusion and success of the vernacular. The ninth item is for an edition of Petrarch, at the price of "4 [lire; florins; scudi?]". Among other works on the list are the Arcadia by Jacopo Sannazzaro, and the Italian Prose of Pietro Bembo.
