Jacopo Sannazaro (1456-1530), considered by some authorities the
finest Neo-Latin poet of the Italian Renaissance, spent most of his
career in Naples, where he was a member and ultimately the head of
the Accademia Pontaniana. He is most famous for having written, in
Italian, the first pastoral romance in European literature, the
"Arcadia" (1504). But after this early work, Sannazaro devoted
himself entirely to Latin poetry modeled on his beloved Vergil. In
addition to his epic "The Virgin Birth" (1526), which earned him
the title of "the Christian Vergil," he also composed "Piscatory
Eclogues, " an innovative adaption of the eclogue form, as well as
elegies, epigrams, and a number of shorter works. This volume
contains the first complete English translation of all of
Sannazaro's poetry in Latin, accompanied by extensive notes.
