Additionally, the privileging of specifically French editions of Petrarch seems unwarranted: similar paratexts (vocabulary lists, rhyming dictionaries, even the dual facing images of Petrarch and Laura that Alduy credits the French with devising) can be found in printed Italian editions as well (in some cases even earlier than 1545).
It certainly suggests that if Petrarch and Laura are not themselves the literal subject of The Original of Laura, the question of “originality” may well be.
