This page has a large portion of French
By the People mss5186206-20 (Women of the Early Republic: Anna Maria Brodeau Thornton Papers)
I corrected one typo but the rest looked good and should be ready to be accepted.
I transcribed it, but part of it was Italian as well, which I’m not as strong at. Also, what a scandalous poem!

Thanks for your work on this Carilyn. I found some more pages in the Anna Thornton papers that looked like French again. Hopefully not Italian this time

Scandalous? He is telling to not get naked totally but only half, for her sahe, and to let men imagine the rest… I made a few corrections as well.
I edited the Italian - there were a few minor changes only.
The Italian is interesting as it is (necessarily) older than standard modern Italian and appears very franc-ified - as possibly might have been seen at the court of Naples.
Interesting - thank you!
I just finished transcribing a new page in French. If you d like to review it

It is indeed Italian
It looked good to me so I accepted the page.
Yes, Italian - one of Petrarch’s sonnets, although with semi-modernized spelling. I will work on it today.
Maybe it might be good to have an “Italian” section of the Language category?

Great idea! Please find the new Italian subcategory here: Italian - By the People community forum
Fantastico – Grazie mille a voi!
There is some French at the end of this page. Thanks
I got all of it except a couple of the crossed-out words.
