He has authored or coauthored seven books, including the two-volume facsimile and commentary on Petrarch’s partial holograph of the Rerum vulgarium fragmenta, Vat. Lat. 3195 (Vatican–Antenore 2003–2004). His recent work ranges from the study of the use of the initial ‘I’ in Trivulziano 1015 (Letteratura e Arte) and the program of illustrations in an unfinished 1340 Venetian manuscript of the Divine Comedy (Romanic Review) to editorial methodology appearing in Medioevo letterario d’Italia, Zeitschrift für romanische Philologie, and Neo-Latin Philology, Old Tradition, New Approaches (2014). Emeritus since 2018, Wayne lives in Connecticut and is currently completing a material commentary for the new digital edition of Petrarch’s Fragmenta (http://petrarchive.org).
