Interesting. At least a lead.
"The Triumphs were probably undertaken around the mid-thirteenfifties and the writing took a long time: from 1357 to 1374. Nevertheless, they were not written in final draft and they did not circulate, not even partially, during Petrarch's life. Shortly after his death, Giovanni Boccaccio first and Giovanni Dondi later, asked both to Francescuolo da Brossano and Lombardo della Seta for news about the work, as they were in charge of Petrarch's writings and had to take care of its first circulation."

Steve's quote is from the same site -

If a passage is on the web somewhere, you can find it by typing in a phrase of three or four words, in double quotes - "...". For instance, I googled "published the posthumous" and "incomplete works" (because the word "Petrarchian" seemed strange and unlikely to me). The first result was Steve's quote, the second was irrelevant.
