Abstract

Many questions concerning the poems included in the Cypriot manuscript of the Venice Marcian Library (dating, poets’ identity, relation between the poems and the original texts in italian, etc.) remain open. However, it seems that we are in the presence of the first anthology of poems in the Cypriot dialect, which, in the world of Greek literature, convey thematic and stylistic modes and metrical schemes of the Petrarchism’s renaissance poetry.
