DGR has only a brief note on Mazzeo that gives an approximate date of 1250 for his works. He was born around 1235.

DGR alters Mazzeo's complex rhyme scheme but substitutes one of equal and similar complexity. The English trimeters and iambics correspond, as usual with DGR's translations, to the original setenarii and hendecasyllables.
