An Open Letters Review Best Book of the Year Angelo Poliziano
(1454-1494) was one of the great scholar-poets of the Italian
Renaissance and the leading literary figure of Florence in the age
of Lorenzo de' Medici, "il Magnifico." The poet's Miscellanies,
including a "first century" published in 1489 and a "second
century" unfinished at his death, constitute the most innovative
contribution to classical philology of the Renaissance. Each
chapter is a mini-essay on some lexical or textual problem which
Poliziano, drawing on the riches of the Medici Library and
Lorenzo's collection of antiquities, solves with his characteristic
mixture of deep learning, analytic skill, and brash criticism of
his predecessors. Volume 1 presents a new Latin edition of The
First Century of the Miscellanies, and these volumes together
present the first translation of both collections into any modern
language.
