CAVALCANTI, GUIDO (c. 1250-1300)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 561 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CAVALCANTI, GUIDO (c. 1250-1300) , Italian poet and philosopher, was the son of a philosopher whom
Dante
 , in the Inferno, condemns to torment among the Epicureans and Atheists; but he himself was a friend of the
great
  poet. By
marriage
  with Beatrice, daughter of Farinata Uberti, he became head of the Ghibellines; and when the
people
 , weary of continual brawls, aroused themselves, and sought peace by banishing the leaders of the rival parties, he was sent to Sarzana, where he caught a
fever
 , of which he died. Cavalcanti has left a number of love sonnets and canzoni, which were honoured by the praise of
Dante
 . Some are simple and graceful, but many are spoiled by a mixture of metaphysics borrowed from Plato,
Aristotle
  and the
Christian
  Fathers. They are mostly in honour of a
French
  lady, whom he calls Mandetta. His Canzone d'Amore was extremely popular, and was frequently published; and his complete poetical works are contained in Giunti's collection (Florence, 1527; Venice, 1531-1532). He also wrote in
prose
  on philosophy and oratory.
See D. G. Rossetti, Dante and his Circle (1874).
