Angelo Poliziano (1454-1494) was one of the great scholar-poets of
the Renaissance and a leading figure in Florence during the Age of
the Medici. His poetry, composed in a variety of meters, includes
epigrams, elegies, and verse epistles, as well as translations of
Hellenistic Greek poets. Among the first Latin poets of the
Renaissance to be inspired by Homer and the poems of Greek
Anthology, Poliziano's verse also reflects his deep study of
Catullus, Martial, and Statius. It ranges from love songs to
funeral odes, from prayers to hymns, from invectives directed
against his rivals to panegyrics of his teachers, artists, fellow
humanists, and his great patron, Lorenzo de' Medici, "il
Magnifico." The present volume includes all of Poliziano's Greek
and Latin poetry (with the exception of the Silvae, published in
2004 as ITRL 14), all translated into English for the first time.
