Rime

Rime is a collection of poems written by the Italian poet and humanist, Angelo Poliziano. The book contains a total of 218 poems, which are written in Italian and Latin. The poems cover a wide range of themes, including love, friendship, nature, morality, and religion. Poliziano's writing style is characterized by its elegance, wit, and sophistication. He often uses complex metaphors and allusions to classical literature and mythology. His poems are also known for their musicality, as they were often set to music and performed in courtly settings.The collection is divided into three sections: the first contains Poliziano's early poems, which were written during his youth; the second contains his love poems, which are considered some of his finest work; and the third contains his moral and religious poems, which reflect his interest in philosophy and theology.Rime was first published in 1498, and it quickly became popular among Italian scholars and poets. It has since been recognized as one of the most important collections of Italian poetry from the Renaissance period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
