Note 83 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Della Torre, op. cit., p. 151. But the strongest proof that Boccaccio and Cino were friends is furnished by Volpi, Una Canzone di Cino da Pistoia nel "Filostrato" del Boccaccio in Bull. St. Pistoiese (1899), Vol. I, fasc. 3, p. 116 et seq., who finds a song of Cino's in the Filostrato. It seems probable, then, since they were in personal relations, that Cino introduced the works of Dante to Boccaccio.
