“Manzoni thus dedicates his "Adelchi." To his beloved and venerated wife, Enrichetta Liugia Blondel, who, with conjugal affection and maternal wisdom, has preserved a virgin mind, the author dedicates this "Adelchi”
“Not Manzoni alone would celebrate in his wife the virgin mind with the maternal wisdom and conjugal affections.”
Inferred Named in closing argument — 'Not Manzoni alone would celebrate in his wife the virgin mind'; refers back to the Adelchi dedication in §5. Refers back to the Adelchi dedication discussed earlier
