I see no reason why this article should contain a synopsis of each letter in the book. Unless someone supplies a good reason why the synopses need to be here, I will remove them soon. --Akhilleus ( talk) 05:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
I removed this image of a book cover: I'm afraid I don't understand our fair use policy all that well, but this image is a potential copyright violation, so I've removed it from the article. It's not essential to the article, in any case, so we'd be safer to leave it out. --Akhilleus ( talk) 01:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
There's a massive amount of plagiarism in this article. The large introduction to this article is largely taken from the introduction to Zacour's translation of the sine nomine, even though Zacour is nowhere cited. The lack of citation in itself is plagiarism; in addition, text is closely copied from Zacour or other sources, including this website: [1]. (The version of the Wikipedia article referred to is the revision of 21:35, 9 July 2007.)
Sadly, this does not exhaust the plagiarism that can be found in this article. Some of the summaries of the letters are drawn from the introductions in Zacour's translation--I won't bother with the details right now, but if you've got Zacour in hand the copying becomes obvious. Other summaries are drawn from
http://www.loselle.com/neh/jewell.htm. For instance, the summary of letter 19 begins "Letter 19 indulges in bellicose oxymorons..." drawn straight from the website.
Since virtually every paragraph of this article is tainted by plagiarism, I'm reducing it to a stub. --Akhilleus ( talk) 06:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

The image is my picture I did and is not a scan or photograph of a book. The original medieval two-dimensional artwork within the picture was done in Paris around 1470. Since the original artwork is over 500 years old, it is in public domain. I just added colors to the original artwork and did not modify it other than that. I put on my picture I made the wording: Petrarch's The Book Without A Name Sine nomine. Review the file picture upload history and prior images which will reveal I made this image myself, based upon the original 1470 artwork.
The contents of the letters should be allowed since this is basically what Petrarch's book is all about. It has unique information about each letter, who it was sent to, and why. When it was available to the public editors about 6 month ago, others participated with additional information on certain letters and made improvements on the various letters. This shows there is interest in each of the letters and they should be allowed to be made available to the public even though it is a controversal issue related to the Catholic church and the Avignon papacy history. This article should not outright be censored, "stubified", or deleted without first allowing third opinions from other editors and some additional administrators. While it is a controversal subject, it is a notable important subject related to Petrarch's writings. Additionally it also provides unique information about each recipient and why it was sent to them, which is usually a humanist renainasance person in their own right and is almost always a close friend of Petrarch. Many new biographies have since been added that relate directly to this writing of Petrarch's Book Without A Name and link directly to this article or from this article to a new medieval period biography. It has as well certain philosophy ideas of the beginning of the Renaissance and medieval political concepts.--
