Über die Einsamkeit [On Solitude] (1784–1785) Inferred

Johann Georg von Zimmermann (1728–1795) · 1784–1785

InferredFuller mentions 'a very slight passage in Zimmerman' as her 'key' to a Petrarch project; the work is not named, but Zimmermann's primary and best-known work was On Solitude, which extensively treats Petrarch. Title inferred as On Solitude since no other Zimmermann work is known to engage with Petrarch in a way that matches Fuller's description.
