Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Basia of Joannes Secundus: Translated Into English Verse to Which Is Added the Epithalamium, With the English Version of George Out of the sombre writings of the dying Middle Ages and blither notes of the budding Renaissance in Teutonic Europe, a single tune rises and swells bird-like from the throat of Joannes Secundus Nicolaïus (in English, John Nichols, 2 d). A score of contemporary singers of his own nation are forgotten, the only one besides himself who is still remembered, Joannes Jovianus Pontanus, owing his shadowy fame to the fact that he is thought to have been the master of his greater pupil. What it is that has preserved the reputation of this classical scholar and diplomatist can be seen in the translations here subjoined, an ardency of sentiment, a vividness of phrase, a buoyancy of spirit, a delicacy of epithet, combining to make his Latin measures excellent poetry even when poured from the cup of one language to another. Joannes Secundus was born at The Hague on the tenth day of November, 1511, on the very day Martin Luther was celebrating his twenty-eighth birth anniversary in the city of Rome, and there acquiring the knowledge of realities which led soon after to his protest and revolt.
