Foreword The sonnet as a form was born in early 13th century Sicily at the intersection of the scientific advances of the North Africa Moors and the troubadour poetry traditions of southern France. It began as a poetry of love and romance, of higher love, of distant love. Scholars attribute the codification of the sonnet form to the Sicilian notary, Giacomo da Lentini.
