In the first part of the article, the author discusses the didactic work 'De remediis utriusque fortune', in which Petrach's Augustine-inspired pessimism finds its extreme expression. In the second part, the article points out that in Bohemia the reception of Petrarch as a moralist was fundamentally different from the usual image of him as a humanist. It discusses the appeal that Petrarch's moral philosophy had for reform-minded figures like Rehor Hruby z Jeleni (c.1460-1514) and Mikulas Konac z Hodiskova (c. 1480-1546), and analyzes Jan Ceska's 'Reci a nauceni hlubokych mudrcu' (Words and teachings of the great sages c.1500), a florilegium based for the most part on De remediis. On the basis of a comparison of Ceska's translations and paraphrases of De remediis, the author concludes (in opposition to Josef Macek) that in Ceska's work Petrarch's rigorous, inwardly oriented Augustinian concept of Virtue is superseded by the essentially more open, concept of Reason oriented to this world, and that Petrarch's pessimism is thus reinterpreted in the spirit of positive, confident proto-Reformation thinking.

By way of introduction the author demonstrates first the Petrarchan and then (for the last two sonnets, published in the 1832 edition) Dantean inspiration of the cycle 'Slávy dcera' by the Slovak-born poet Jan Kollár, and points out the incompatibility of the two models. He describes Kollár's reading of Petrarch and Dante (both in German translation) as partial, since he used only selected elements of form and motif. Kollár's appreciation of the two Italian poets was undoubtedly not without reservations: on the basis of a passage from a description of Kollár's journey to northern Italy in 1841, the author of the article concludes that the distanced way Kollár talks about his models reveals criticism of them from Protestant and Panslav positions. Kollár was nevertheless able to assess positively his contact with Petrarch and Dante: if it was the Petrarchan sonnet that taught him concise, semantically rich expression, it was the stylistic openness of Dantean 'realism', which led him to experiment with form in the framework of a heroic-comic genre.
