Latin Poetry
Sannazaro (1456-1530) is most famous for having written the first pastoral romance in European literature, the Arcadia (1504). But after this work, he devoted himself entirely to Latin poetry modeled on his beloved Virgil. In addition to his epic The Virgin Birth (1526), he also composed Piscatory Eclogues, an adaption of the eclogue form.
The Arcadia of Jacopo Sannazaro
Five hundred years ago, working from hints in classical Greek and Latin poets, the young author Jacopo Sannazaro crafted the book called Arcadia, a narrative in richly descriptive Italian prose interwoven with elegant and passionate poems. A young man--transparently a stand-in for the author--leaves his home in Naples to join a community of shepherds in the remote Greek region of Arcadia. Yet he finds that this seemingly idyllic land is as fraught as the homeland he fled.

The Piscatory Eclogues of Jacopo Sannazaro
Excerpt from The Piscatory Eclogues of Jacopo Sannazaro The favorable reception accorded to my edition of "good old Mantuan" has encouraged me to make a similar study of the much better eclogues of Sannazaro. The text is based upon that of the first printed edition, of Naples, 1526. The more important later variants are mentioned in the notes.
