Specialist Notes

First printed appearance of the three authors, which also contains the first printed edition of Molza's poem, & nbsp; The Tiberian Nymph . Brilliant example of post-Petrarchian lyric, which moves away from Bembo's lesson to often recover the heritage of classical lyric, especially Virgilian and Catullian.
