Politian’s Translation of Callimachus’s ‘Bath of Pallas’ in the Miscellanea (1489)

Abstract

"The Miscellanea was produced for an audience confident enough in Latin to be able to appreciate the breadth and sensitivity of [Politian's] command of the language, and to tolerate his more flamboyant displays of learning. This audience was, on the other hand, not quite so accomplished in Greek, with a small number of exceptions."
