| Sumari: | The theme of poetic coronation was of great significance to Boccaccio, and he frequently alludes to the laurel crown when discussing his mentors, Dante and Petrarch. In the chapter of Genealogie deorum gentilium dedicated to Daphne (VII 29), Boccaccio goes beyond his usual literal and allegorical interpretation of the myth, offering a detailed exploration of the laurel tree and its remarkable qualities. This article seeks to uncover the sources Boccaccio drew upon, particularly highlighting the connections with two works linked to Petrarch – Privilegium and Collatio laureationis – and exploring the significance of his citation of a couplet from the Epystola to Bruzio Visconti. |
