Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses a selection of political and civil 14th-century minor Tuscan lyrical texts, where authors use Dante’s biography and literature to compose political and civil verses. Through biographical and informatics research I selected a corpus of texts regarding the selected topic and genre. The purpose was to find similarities and differences between different texts, authors, and contexts. What emerges is a heterogeneous landscape that demonstrates some recurring themes in different texts.
