Abstract
An anonymous canzone in the Biblioteca Nazionale in Florence ascribed to ‘one of the arroti [co-opted members] of the Accademia degli Umidi of Florence’ and connected with ‘a play performed this Carnival in Lyon’ (i.e. the Carnival of 1542) has long been attributed to the sixteenth-century Florentine Academician Cosimo Bartoli on the basis of little more than the punning circle (‘cosmo‘) drawn at the head of a couple of fairly puzzling lines of verse preceding the canzone itself.
