Renaissance Latin Verse

In a time when educated men spoke and wrote in Latin as easily as their native tongues, a huge volume of Latin verse was published by men in every walk of life. This anthology includes the poetry of Petrarch, Boccaccio, Castigliione, and Sanazaro Ariosto among the Italians; Du Bellay and Michel de l'Hopital in France; Melanchthon and Erasmus in Germany and the Low Countries; and More in England.
