Mario Emilio Cosenza 1880-1966 translated Petrarch's Letters to Classical Authors in 1910. Petrarch wrote so many letters that he decided to burn them in 1359. Then he noticed some he hadn't burned and he grouped the letters to classical authors. This letter to Marcus Tullius Cicero is the first letter in the collection below.
