    The Rerum vulgarium fragmenta and Triumphi with the Life of Petrarch attributed to Antonio da Tempo, though probably the work of Pier Candido Decembrio. Printed in Venice, after 8 May 1477.

    Imprint from colophons on fols. i4v and s8v.

    The Rerum vulgarium fragmenta and Triumphi with the Commentary and Life of Petrarch by Antonio da Tempo.

    In two parts, possibly issued separately as there are many copies of only the RVF and Triumphi without the Commentary; also the Life of Petrarch appears in both parts.

    According to Bod-inc, the Vita di Petrarca, generally attributed to Antonio da Tempo, is probably the work of Pier Candido Decembrio.
