Translations Chiefly From The Italian Of Petrarch And Metastasis (1795)

Translations Chiefly From The Italian Of Petrarch And Metastasis is a book published in 1795 that contains translations of poems by two Italian poets, Petrarch and Metastasio. Petrarch is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the development of the Italian language and literature, and his sonnets and other poems are still widely read and studied today. Metastasio, on the other hand, was a prominent 18th-century poet and librettist who wrote many operas and other works that were popular in his time. The translations in this book were done by an unknown author and include a variety of Petrarch's sonnets and other poems, as well as several of Metastasio's works. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Italian literature and poetry, as well as for those interested in the history of translation and the development of literary traditions across different languages and cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
