Since in Convivio II.XII.7 the poet claimed that he attended the disputations of the philosophizers in Florence's convent schools where Philosophy was truly revealed to him, this research presents the transcriptions of several hitherto unedited disputations that were held in the Franciscan convent of Santa Croce in 1295. cache/9z902z1412n.txt txt/9z902z1412n.txt
