Petrarch and Martini were not just colleagues, but close friends as well. Petrarch's sonnets reveal their strong bond, which undoubtedly influenced Martini's work on this manuscript. It is clear that Martini was deeply immersed in the proto-Humanist cultural world of Petrarch, as seen in his meticulous attention to detail and artistic expression.
The Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan houses this remarkable piece of Italian art, where it continues to inspire scholars and art enthusiasts alike. The fusion of literature, poetry, and visual art in this manuscript exemplifies the beauty and complexity of medieval classics.
