Marco Girolamo Vida's The Christiad
First published in 1535 at Cremona, The Christiad received immediate, international acclaim. Altogether, it went through some sixty printings or editions in Latin and remains the only memorable epic poem of the Italian Renaissance that survives. In view of the importance of the poem for students of Renaissance and later epic poetry in general and Milton in particular, it is curious, according to Gertrude C. Drake and Clarence A. Forbes, that it has not been published with an English translation since the eighteenth century. Hence the major purpose of this edition is to provide students of humanism, vernacular belles lettres, and the Bible with an easily accessible Latin text if scholars read the language with fair ease, and with an accurate English version if they do not.
