O'Neill Daunt 1807 - 1894; he was born a Protestant but converted to Catholicism in 1827. He was a member of the Repeal Association the Irish political movement formed by Daniel O'Connell in 1840. "Colonna in the persona of Laura to whom the work is "attributed" engages Petrarch in a lengthy tenzone a literary joust played against Petrarch's own poems verses and words. The poems so effectively censored here and utterly illegible are based on the order and words of the "Babylonia" sonnets" Pennsylvania University Library. Interestingly the copies of three editions at Penn including this one from 1552 have been "censored" by defacing the text: "Indeed the same poems in each edition are defaced. Three of them are easier to see in the 1552 edition than in 1549: they are numbers 136 "Fiamma dal Ciel" "Flames from heaven" 137 "L'avara Babilonia" "Greedy Babylon" and 138 "Fontane di dolore" "Font of sorrow". Each criticizes the decadence of the papal court at Avignon which Petrarch even compares to the Whore of Babylon � a pejorative whose sixteenth-century adoption by Protestants he could not have foreseen in the fourteenth century when no Protestants existed. But Counter-Reformation censors clearly thought contemporary reformers likely to read Petrarch's criticism as prefiguring their criticisms of the Roman papacy of their own era and they sought to eliminate these poems from the printed record." One of the entries in OCLC quotes from Gaetano Melzi's Dizionario di Opere Anonime 1852 that "Quest opera fu veramente fatica non gi� di Laura ma di esso Stefano Colonna; come si leggeva in un testo a penna allegato da' postillatori del Crescimbeni" i. e. that the work was not by Laura or for that matter Petrarch but by one Stefano Colonna the Roman gentleman of the title-page "who was a 16th century descendent of the same Roman family. He was a mercenary who served Cosimo I de' Medici as lieutenant general of the Tuscan army. Also a member of the Florentine Academy he was the subject of one of painter Angelo Bronzino's most celebrated portraits 1546." also from Penn.
