# De vita solitaria argues a learned solitude against court noise

Date: 1356

## The fact

De vita solitaria, addressed to Philippe de Cabassoles, bishop of Cavaillon and friend of the Vaucluse years, argues for a solitude filled with books rather than court. It is not a monastery foundation and not Arquà tourism.

## Context

Solitude here is a literate household, often with servants. Cohesion is among readers who share a discipline of study. Mixed: it can despise cities. Shared with Philippe.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

## Evidence and sources

Latin Library at https://www.thelatinlibrary.com/petrarch.html and Treccani at https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/francesco-petrarca/ independently locate the solitude treatise. Britannica’s life mentions Vaucluse as the solitude stage.

Official or archival record: The Latin Library — Petrarch (https://www.thelatinlibrary.com/petrarch.html; The Latin Library).

## Significance

Learned solitude as a teachable form of life is a cohesion path of modest weight and high confidence on the book. It is not a public-health retreat statute.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
