Description
Francesco Filelfo's Odes is a landmark collection of Latin poetry that explores themes of war, just rule, love, exile, patronage, and friendship in 15th-century Italy. Written by one of the great scholar-poets of the Italian Renaissance, this volume constitutes the first complete cycle of Horatian odes since classical antiquity. Completed in the mid-1450s, the Odes showcase Filelfo's mastery of Augustan literature and his ability to address personal and political concerns in his own day. This collection is notable for its topical subjects, including the devastating effects of the plague on Milan. The Odes offer a unique insight into the politics, society, and culture of 15th-century Italy. This volume presents the first publication of the Latin text since the fifteenth century, alongside a translation into English, making it an essential resource for scholars and literature enthusiasts alike.
