Popis: The notary Guido Guinizzelli, who probably studied in Bologna and died in about 1276, wrote the poem "Al cor gentil rempaira sempre amore," which is commonly regarded as the manifesto of the scuola of the "dolce stil nuovo," a name that traces to Dante.'1 Tradition has preserved twenty-two texts of Guido Guinizzelli's as well as three dubiously attributed canzoni and two fragments.2 His work suggests that he was well acquainted with philosophy and rhetoric. The University of Bologna, where he may have studied, guaranteed a connection between the study of philosophy and the training for the career of notary, both of which took place in the faculty of Arts.3 In Purgatorio, canto 26, Dante meets Guinizzelli and calls him "padre," thus acknowledging his debt.4
