Abstract
In the printed editions of Cecco Angiolieri's poetry, the sonnet «Tutto quest'anno ch'è mi son frustato» was based on a single manuscript exemplar. In a previous article, I examined a second version of the sonnet found in the same source manuscript; the second version was radically different from the first, so there was no good basis to establish the more authoritative form. In the current article, I examine a third version of the sonnet, previously unexamined, as well as a related poem to determine its probable form.
