Laura (English spelling)

Japanese: ラウラ(英語表記)Laura
Laura (English spelling)
She was the woman whom Petrarch loved throughout his life and about whom he sang in his collection of lyric poems, Canzoniere. According to the poet, he first saw her on Good Friday, April 6, 1327, at the Church of Saint Clare in Avignon, and she ascended to heaven on the same day, April 6, 1348. At the time, Petrarch was understood not as a love poet but as a moral philosopher who pioneered humanism, and even his close friends doubted the genuineness of his love and tried to interpret it as an allegory, following the example of Dante's Beatrice, but the poet insisted that it was true love.

Japanese:
ペトラルカが生涯愛し続け,抒情詩集《カンツォニエーレ》のなかでその愛をうたった女性。詩人によれば,1327年4月6日の聖金曜日,アビニョンの聖女クララ教会で初めてその姿を目にし,そして48年の同じ4月6日に天へ昇ったという。ペトラルカが恋愛詩人としてではなく,人文主義の先駆的仕事を果たす倫理哲学者として理解されていた当時においては,親しい友人さえもがその愛の真偽を疑い,ダンテのベアトリーチェにならって,寓意のみを解そうとしたが,詩人は真実の愛であることを力説した。
