Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533), one of Italy's greatest poets, was a
leading figure of sixteenth-century Italian humanism. After some
years working in the household of Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, to whom
he dedicated his dazzling romance epic Orlando Furioso (1516),
Ariosto settled in Ferrara under the patronage of Ippolito's
brother Alfonso. He continued to write throughout his life,
publishing 214 letters, five plays, seven satires in verse, and
dozens of lyric poems in Italian and Latin. Ariosto's Latin poems,
translated into English for the first time in this volume, are
remarkable for their erudition, technical virtuosity, and
playfulness. This edition provides a new Latin text, the first to
be based on a collation of the autograph manuscript and editio
princeps, and offers a unique insight into the Latin formation of
one of the Renaissance's foremost vernacular writers.
A dazzling kaleidoscope of adventures, ogres, monsters, barbaric splendor, and romance, this epic poem stands as one of the greatest works of the Italian Renaissance.
