Hi I need some help finding out when Petrarch wrote Sonnet 12 and 35 in the Canzoniere? I know that they were wrote so long ago that it might not be possible to find the exact dates but anything would help. Thanks.
If it doesn't have to be exact, this timeline should help you:

I couldn't get that link to work, for some reason.
Google shows Sonnet X written about 1330, so can we assume XII was shortly thereafter?

Makes me wonder if Petrarch's Laura is where Pasternak got the idea for Zhivago's Lara poems.
