In this volume, he analyzes the environment and periodization of the \u003ci\u003eSecretum\u003c\/i\u003e, relocating its date of publication. It has long been assumed that the \u003ci\u003eSecretum\u003c\/i\u003e -- composed of three dialogues in which \"Augustine,\" in the presence of \"Truth\" tries to persuade \"Francis\" to seek spiritual perfection -- reflects a spiritual crisis on the part of the author. This is the supposition that Dr. Rico calls into question. This comprehensive, Spanish-language study opens the way for a more realistic interpretation of both the works and motivations of Petrarch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unc Department of Romance Studies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47615459524759,"sku":"9780807891605","price":3324.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780807891605.webp?v=1775100975","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/vida-u-obra-de-petrarca-9780807891605","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
