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 The poems, including two previously unpublished,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.
