%X After describing the close relation between Petrarch¡¯s and Dante¡¯s conceptions of canzone form, this article explores the formats followed by Petrarch and his scribe Giovanni Malpaghini in their transcriptions in Vat. Lat. 3195. Giovanni¡¯s traditional horizontal format allows for certain striking effects of collocation (as of 125-126) and for minimal page turns in canzoni; however, the vertical format of the sestinas and the vertical alignment of even-numbered verses in Petrarch¡¯s own transcriptions of sonnets and canzoni suggest a gradually increasing sense of the possibilities of vertical format.
