One of the great medical authorities of the early sixteenth
century, Girolamo Fracastoro (1478-1553) was also a prominent
Neo-Latin poet. This volume includes his famous didactic poem
Syphilis in three books, which gave the name to the disease and
contains the first poetical description of Columbus's discovery of
America. Also included are a short Biblical epic, the Joseph, and
the Carmina, a collection of shorter poetry in various metres. This
volume presents an updated edition of all the Latin texts, two
previously unpublished short poems, and the first complete
translation into English of Fracastoro's Latin poetry.
