I read an essay called Invidia by George Steiner compiled on his celeb book

My Unwritten Books. It tells us the issue that happens when somebody

figures out his own work as something careless and meaningless sized up
with someone elses and feels that common emotion, envy. He took
Francesco degli Stabili, better known as Cecco dAscoli, an Italian writer who
lived in Dante Alighieris time and wrote two astrological treaties, a few
sonnets and an unfinished epopee named LAcerba.
We dont even know if Acerba (titles word) came from latin word acervus
which means a whole of miscellaneous stuffs or acerbus, a latin word too
which means rough, harsh, this gives us a certain idea of the mystery and
difficult nature that surrounds and fills the whole work. Whatever it be the
main topic of the essay came up as soon as we realise that just a few of
people know this opus if we compare it with his clear rival, Dantes Comedy,
nobody has a great idea of who were Cecco as it has about Dante.
