    With the woodcut titlepage, containing portraits of Petrarch and Laura, and woodcuts of the Nicolini-Daniello edition of 1549, Giglio issued this edition to rival Giolito's with commentary by Gesualdo of the same year.

    Each triumph is preceded by a rectangular-box woodcut: Amoris (a3r), Pudicitie (d5r), Mortis (e4r), Fame (f5v), Temporis (h7r), Eternitatis (i3v)

    The second part, comprising the 'Trionfi', has separate titlepage on leaf a1r, with the same border and is without foliation.

    Printer's device on the titlepage and at end.

    Signatures: aa-bb⁸, cc⁶, A⁴, B-VV⁸, XX⁶; a-i⁸.

    A letter from the printer to Bernardo Priuli, a Life of Petrarch and a Life of Laura preceed the Gesualdo introduction.

    Petrarch's poems and commentary in italic type; Petrarch's texts set on left in small block, with commentary distributed on the rest of the page.
