Bondie Dietaiuti

Last updated

Bondie Dietaiuti was a 13th-century poet from Florence. He was influenced by the Occitan troubadours and known for his animal imagery, [1] including a translation of lines about a lark from the troubadour song Can vei la lauzeta mover. [2] In turn, he has been suggested to be an influence on Dante. [3] Three of his canzoni and four of his sonnets survive. [1] [2] One of his sonnets was included in the Storia della letteratura italiana of Francesco de Sanctis. [2]
