Note 475 — Chapter IV · HUMANISM IN THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
‘Poeta,’ even in Dante (Vita Nuova, p. 47), means only the writer of Latin verses, while for Italian the expressions ‘Rimatore, Dicitore per rima,’ are used. It is true that the names and ideas became mixed in course of time.
