About this book
"Angelo Poliziano (154-1494) was one of the great scholar-poets of the Renaissance and a leading figure in the circle of Lorenzo deMedici "il Magnifico" in Florence. His "Silvae" are poetical introductions to his courses in literature at the University of Florence, writtne in Latin hexameters. They not only contain some of the finest Latin poetry of the Reaissance, 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."--BOOK JACKET.
