| Abstract | On 20 July 2004 the world will be celebrating Petrarch's 700th hundred birthday. For German scholars this will be a welcome occasion to reconsider Petrarch's influence on German culture from the Middle Ages till Modern Times. The first two papers will deal with the late medieval reception of Petrarch's Latin writings in Germany, whereas paper 3 will shed new light on Petrarch's travel book, that has been almost completely ignored by modern scholars, but was quite popular amongst his contemporaries. All 3 speaker intend to add new aspects to the genesis of the modern reception of the so called Renaissance Petrarch and his Latin writings. |
