HOMER.

Pyndarus de bello Troiano. Astyanax maphaei Laudensis. Epigrammata quaedam diversorum autorum.

      Second Soncino edition of this popular Latin verse epitome of the Iliad, accompanied - as it was inSoncino's first edition of 1505 - by Mapheus Vegius' Astyanax. New to this edition, however, is the miscellany of neo-Latin epigrams at the end. Some are by familiar names, e.g. Leonardo Bruni, Baptista Guarinus (including his Cur Judaei ferant litteram O) and Pomponius Laetus. Others are by two local poets from Fano, perhaps brothers, Antonius and Jacobus Constantius.Manzoni, pp. 394-6. Fano, Girolamo Soncino, 1515.
