Excerpt from The Life of Petrarch, Vol. 1 of 2: Collected From Memoires Pour La Vie De Petrarch
I will not pretend to trace all the circumstances that contributed to this happy events I will only add, that more was due to the abilities of those great men who at that time enlightened Italy, and among whom Petrarch held the first rank, than has by some been attributed to them. Had it not been for their fine genius, the world would probably have continued much longer buried in darkness; as the valuable art of printing was not dis covered till two centuries after this, and manuscripts of any worth were shut up in the Cloisters.
To Petrarch we are indebted for many of these manu scripts: with infinite pains and difficulty he collected and caused them to be copied; and by his labours, and those of his contemporaries, the way was opened for the reception of those works which the Greeks, about a cen tury after this, brought with them into Italy.
