DE KEYSER, J., Francesco Filelfo and Francesco Sforza. Critical Edition of Filelfo's 'Sphortias', 'De Genuensium deditione''Oratio parentalis', and his Polemical Exchange with Galeotto Marzio. Olms, Hildesheim, 2015. L,400p. Hard bound. Series: Noctes Neolatinae, Neo-Latin Texts and Studies, Band 22. Die Sphortias des Humanisten Francesco Filelfo (15. Jd.) war das erste veritable neulateinische Epos, das einen zeitgenössischen Helden in Szene setzte. Das Gedicht, das Filelfos Gönner Francesco Sforza, Herzog von Mailand, gewidmet ist, stieß fast sofort auf die heftige Kritik des Galeotto Marzio, eines Zeitgenossen Filelfos. Marzio prangerte in zwei polemischen Briefen die angeblichen literarischen und metrischen Schwächen der Sphortias an. Obwohl Filelfo Abschriften an mögliche Gönner in ganz Italien sandte, litt die Rezeption der Sphortias unter dem Fehlen einer Druckausgabe, was auch die moderne Forschung behindert hat. Der vorliegende Band bietet die editio princeps der Sphortias, ergänzt durch kritische Editionen der anderen bedeutenden, aber gleichfalls kaum erforschten Werke Filelfos, in denen Sforza im Mittelpunkt steht: das unveröffentlichte Gedicht De Genuensium deditione, das 1464 anlässlich der Unterwerfung Genuas unter die Herrschaft des Herzogs von Mailand verfasst wurde; die Oratio parentalis de divi Francisci Sphortiae Mediolanensium ducis felicitate, ein anspruchsvolles biographisches Lobgedicht, das 1467 aus Anlass des ersten Jahrestages von Sforzas Tod geschrieben wurde; und der vollständige polemische Briefwechsel mit Galeotto Marzio.

DOVER, K.J., (ed.), Perceptions of the Ancient Greeks. Blackwell. Oxford / Cambridge USA, 1992. XIII,252p. Hardbound with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Stamp on free endpaper. Pages slightly yeloowed. 'This is an ambitious and successful collection of essays whose advertised intention is to trace not the actual influence of the ancient Greeks on the culture and arts of later ages, but the way those ages looked at ancient Greece.' (...) it presents not just ways in which the past has been seen but ways in which it has been used. Each chapter gives an account of how a particular age or culture entered in to a more of less creative dialogue with what remained of ancient Greece or what was thought to be relevant. (...) It is an original, illuminating and learned snapshot of a remarkable range of scholarship on a perennial theme.' (J.V. MUIR in The Classical Review (New Series), 1994, 189-90). With contributions from K.J. DOVER, A. GARZYA, C. SIRAT, J.N. MATTOCK, A.C. DIONISOTTI, P. BURKE, R. ZUBER, J. WOHLLEBEN, C.Th. DIMARAS, and A. GRAFTON. € 55.00 (Antiquarian)

ENENKEL, K.A., J.L. de JONG, and J. DE LANDTSHEER, (eds.), Recreating Ancient History. Episodes from the Greek and Roman Past in the Arts and Literature of the Early Modern Period. Brill, Boston / Leiden, 2002. XIII,371;16,10,5,8p. ills.(B&W photographs and line drawings). Paperback. Nice copy. ‘The study of the classical tradition has long been a disparate one. All too often scholars have tended to concentrate upon the influences of antiquity in one writer or artist, and failed to place these influences in a wider context. Yet, without this context, the classical tradition is little more than an exercise in erudition. This volume (…) is therefore a welcome collection of seventeen essays that draw parallels between the many and diverse aspects of the classical tradition in the early modern period. (…) The volume will be useful to historians of all aspects of the early modern period, as well as historians of the classical tradition and cultural history. (…) the standard of scholarship is generally high, and the essays carry copious references to further scholarship.’ (IAN MACGREGOR MORRIS in the Journal of Roman Studies, 2003, p.348). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux. € 25.00 (Antiquarian)
