"Cristoforo Landino (1424-1498), one of the great scholar-poets of the Renaissance, is best known today for his Plaronizing commentaries on Dante and Virgil. His most substantial work of poetry was his Three Books on Xandra, written while still a young man. They consist primarily of love poetry in Latin directed to his lady-love Alessandra, but they also chronicle his life, friendships, interests, and growing political awareness. Inspired equally by the ancient Roman love-elegy and by Petrarch's Canzoniere, the poems illustrate the mingling of classical and vernacular traditions characteristic of the age of Lorenzo de' Medici. Also included in this volume is the Carmina Varia, a collection whose centerpiece is a group of elegies directed to the Venetian humanist Bernardo Bembo. These bring to life the Platonic passion Bembo conceived for Ginevra de' Benci, later the subject of a famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci. This edition contains the first translation of both works into English."--Jacket.

The young Verino became a pupil of Cristoforo Landino. Verino had very high respect for Landino, and his first work, Fiammetta, was almost a tribute to his teacher, being a collection of poems about youthful love (with various other themes, especially in Book Two), greatly influenced by, and often consciously imitating and borrowing from, Landino's own recently reworked Xandra. We can to some extent follow the course of the relationship between Verino and Fiammetta, at least as represented in the poems. Having completed Fiammetta, Verino left love poetry behind as a thing of youth. His extensive output thereafter became more serious, often reflecting his devout piety. His Paradise, a work in obvious debt for its theme to both Vergil (Aeneid 6) and Dante, and influenced a little too by the Somnium Scipionis, the "Dream of Scipio" at the end of Cicero's De Republica. His high regard for the deceased Cosimo, his guide in Heaven, is very evident in Paradise, and in 702-715 he represents himself as having been a good friend of Cosimo's deceased younger son Giovanni de' Medici. Paradise cannot pretend to have any of the depths of Dante, but it provides an interesting and very readable insight into the image that an intelligent, educated, moral, and religious Florentine had of the afterlife in the later fifteenth century. It reflects both Verino's classical learning and his Christian piety, as well as serving to venerate Cosimo. --

The defeat of the Ottomans by the Holy League fleet at the Battle of Lepanto (1571) was among the most celebrated international events of the sixteenth century. This volume anthologizes the work of twenty-two poets from diverse social and geographical backgrounds who composed Latin poetry, often modeled on Vergil and other Roman poets, in response to the news of the battle, the largest Mediterranean naval encounter since antiquity. Among the poems included is the two-book 'Austrias Carmen' by the remarkable Juan Latino, a black African former slave who became a professor of Latin in Granada. The poems, including two previously unpublished, are here translated into English for the first time, along with fresh editions of the Latin texts.
