Introduction
Not much is known of this early Siculo-Tuscan poet. DGR's source text is Trucchi's Poesie Italiane inedite (I. 60-62), where the editor's notes identify him as a newly discovered poet of the period, the author of five canzoni and the contemporary of Jacopo da Lentino.
For some reason DGR has not translated the third stanza of Ciuncio's canzone. Otherwise the translation is fairly strict. It may well be that DGR was working from another text, one not cited in his bibliography.
Textual History: Composition
Probably late 1840s or early 1850s.
Printing History
The translation was first published in 1861 in The Early Italian Poets; it was reprinted in 1874 in Dante and his Circle.
