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.

(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.

Angelo Poliziano (1454-1494) was one of the great scholar-poets
of the Italian Renaissance and the leading literary figure of the
Age of Lorenzo de' Medici, "il Magnifico." His correspondence gives
us an intimate glimpse of the revival of classical literature from
the pen of a man at the very center of the Renaissance movement.
This volume illuminates his close friendship with the philosopher
Pico della Mirandola and includes much of the correspondence
concerning the composition and reception of his "Miscellanies," a
revolutionary work of philology. It also includes his famous and
moving letter on the death of Lorenzo de' Medici. This volume
contains the first modern edition of the Latin text and the first
translation of the letters into English.

Angelo Poliziano (1454-1494) was one of the great scholar-poets
of the Renaissance and a leading figure in the circle of Lorenzo
de'Medici "il Magnifico" in Florence. His "Silvae" are poetical
introductions to his courses in literature at the University of
Florence, written in Latin hexameters. They not only contain some
of the finest Latin poetry of the Renaissance, but also afford
unique insight into the poetical credo of a brilliant scholar as he
considers the works of his Greek and Latin predecessors as well as
of his contemporaries writing in Italian.
