A Critical Edition with Annotations and a Translation
Series: - The Renaissance Society of America, Volume: 21
Author:
The Latin Poems of Manilius Cabacius Rallus of Sparta presents the poetic oeuvre of a forgotten poet of Renaissance Rome. A Greek by birth, Manilius Cabacius Rallus (c. 1447 – c. 1523) spent most of his life far from his motherland, unable to return. Through his poems, composed in a range of metres and genres, Rallus engaged with some major events and personalities of his time, including Angelo Poliziano, Ianus Lascaris, and Pope Leo X. His poems also reflect on timeless human experiences such as helplessness in the face of fortune and nostalgia for what is lost. Han Lamers edited the Latin text of Rallus’ poems (most of them printed for the last time in 1520) and added annotations and an English prose translation.
Han Lamers, Ph.D. (2013), University of Leiden, is Professor of Classics at the University of Oslo. He has published books and articles on the cultural history of Greek and Latin learning in early modern Europe, including Greece Reinvented: Transformations of Byzantine Hellenism in Renaissance Italy (Brill, 2015).
