Petrarch
Under "Works", changed "...a few written to his long-dead friends from history..." to "...a few written to long-dead figures from history...". To refer to Cicero and Virgil as "friends" of Petrarch when they lived over a millennium prior to him, even if it's supposed to be a cheeky term, is extremely superfluous and pointlessly confusing, and risks the accurate reading of what should be an objective, encyclopedic account of one of the most important figures of the Renaissance.
