The Vatican Rerum Vulgarium is a manuscript containing a collection of Italian-language lyric poems—titled "Rerum vulgarium fragmenta" (fragments of common, or vernacular, things)—by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch. Giovanni Malpaghini and Petrarch himself copied the manuscript between 1366 and 1374 (the year of the poet's death). Embellished with two painted and dozens of pen-flourished initials and boasting marginal annotations by Petrarch, it is one of the earliest and most authoritative texts of the collection, also known as Il Canzoniere.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
