Robert M. Durling

Durling was an American scholar and translator, known for his translations of Petrarch's Rime Sparse and (with Ronald Martinez) of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.[1] He was professor emeritus of Italian and English literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz.[2] He died on May 21, 2015.
