13 M. da Civezza and T. Dominichelli, eds., Fratris Johannis de Serravalla … translatio et comentum (Prato, 1891). Giovanni's commentary was written in Latin in the first place; but many Italian vernacular commentaries on Dante were translated into Latin for wider use, e.g. that of Giacopo della Lana's by the Bergamese jurist Alberico di Rosate (d. 1354). The purpose of such versions is clearly stated in the colophon— quoted by Paul Oskar Kristeller in Cultura neolatina, X (1950), 144, n. 19—of a manuscript of this Latinized commentary: Explicit comentus comedie Dantis … compositus … in sermone … tusco; et quia tale ydioma non est omnibus notum, ideo, ad utilitatem volencium studere in ipsa, comedia, transtuli … in gramaticali scientia literarum [i.e., Latin] ego Albericus de Rox(ate) … Pergamensis… .

21 Cf. Mehus, Laurentius, Leonardi Bruni Epistolarum libri X (Florence, 1741)Google Scholar, Introd., lxxxi-lxxxii. Petrarch's epistola is sometimes called De obedentia ac fide uxoria mythologia. From Petr. Epistulae Seniles, XVII, i, it appears that the translation, and probably its preface (i.e., Sen. XVII, iii) as well, were written before April 28, 1373. Chaucer says (Prologue of The Clerk's Tale, 26-30) that he learned the tale of Griselda from Petrarch himself (i.e., at Padua in 1373); certainly Petrarch was in Padua from November, 1372, to September, 1373; but Chaucer may merely have meant that he read the story in Petrarch's version: cf. Manly, The Canterbury Tales, 590-91. But it is reasonably clear that Chaucer was acquainted with at least one French version of the tale: cf. Cook, A. S. in Romanic Review, VIII (1917), 210-22.Google Scholar and Severs, J.

30 No literary versions that is; but in 1636 an anonymous translator whose interest was not in literature but in history produced a partial version: Excerpta ex descriptione pestis quae anno 1348 Florentiae grassabatur Latine versa (Leyden, 1636).

33 Pastor fidus (London, 1658); there is a copy in the Bodleian, but none in the British Museum. The vernacular original was fantastically popular in its day: Rossi, Vittorio (Battista Guarini e il Pastor fido [Turin, 1886], 314-17)Google Scholar lists 110 editions between 1590 and 1828, and (317-23) lists translations into French, Spanish, English, German, modern Greek, Swedish, Dutch, Polish, and even Bergamese and Neapolitan, the great majority being far later in date than the Latin.

35 Ioannis Casae Galatheus sive de moribus liber Italicus, a Nicolao Fierberto Anglo Latine expressus (Rome, 1595); Fierbertus for “Fitzherbert” is no more remarkable than Tribrachius for “de ‘Tirimbocchi” or Acutus for “Hawkwood.” Another courtesy-book (from which “George Washington's 57 Rules of Behaviour” is lineally descended) is Bienséance de la conversation entre les hommes, compiled by the students of the Jesuit college of La Flèche, of which the Latin version is entitled Communis vitae inter homines scita urbanitas, tr. Léonard Perin (“W stare Praze” [?], 1629; 2d ed., 1661); a new and enlarged version of Perin's translation appeared in Schola urbanitatis (London, 1652). The “57 Rules” is adapted from F.

40 De dignitate et augmentis scientiarum libri IX, ed. William Rowley (London, 1623). Book I of the Latin text is a fairly close translation of Book I of the English edition of 1605; but Books II to IX are an expansion of the 1605 Book II: the whole Latin text was prepared under the close and careful supervision of Bacon himself. Other editions of the expanded text appeared elsewhere in 162[4], 1624, 1635, 1645, 1652, 1654, 1694, and 1779, and it was eventually translated into English by Gilbert Wats.

42 Francisci Baconi … Opera omnia, cum novo eoque insigni augmenlo tractatuum hactenus ineditorum et ex idiomate Anglicano in Latinum sermonem translatorum opera Simonis Johannis Arnoldi (Copenhagen and Leipzig, 1694).

43 Browne's work circulated in manuscript copies before it was printed, first surreptitiously in 1642, then in an authorized form in 1643. In a recent critical edition (Cambridge, Eng., 1953) J. J. Denonain bases his text on the eight known manuscripts as well as on the printed editions from 1642 to 1685.

44 Religio medici, cum annotationibus (Strasbourg, 1652): the author of the translation was John Merryweather; the writer of the commentary signed himself L.N.M.E.M., apparently Levinus Nicolaus Moltkenius, eques Misniensis. A second edition appeared, at [Zurich?] in 1743.

The 1778 edition contains in addition a Latin version of the ballad “Chevy Chase,” of which an earlier translation had already been made (though not, I believe, published) in the sixteenth century: Chevy-Chase, a ballad, in Latin verse by H. Bold (London, 1818).

55 Auctoris ignoti carmen priapeium … denuo perpetua annotatione illustravit atque in lucem edidit A. B. C. in Coll. SS. Trinit. apud Cant, olim discipulus (1896); this I have not seen, nor have I been able to learn its place of publication.

60 Historia domini Quijoti Manchegui traducta in Latino-macarronicum per Ignatium Calvum (Madrid, 1905). Incidentally, Folengo's influence on Rabelais (as is well known) was considerable; it is all the more odd, then, that no Latin version of any part of Rabelais’ works exists.

Cf. also the Latin version of the Lilia or Lilium (a poem in praise of the Virgin Mary) of Eysteinn Asgrimsson (fl. 1350): Eysteins Asgrimssonar Lilia, cum versione latina, ed. Finnr Jónsson (Stockholm, 1773); an edition in French, with J. M. Baudouin's Latin version, appeared in 1859.

62 Opus poeticum, de admirabili jallacia et astutia Vulpeculae Reinekes, libri quattuor … ex idiomate Germanico … Latinitate donati … auctore H. Schoppero (Frankfort, 1567); the edition of 1674 is entitled Speculum vitae aulicae.

Alexander Barclay's famous version, The Shyp of folys of the worlde (translated, according to the title-page, “out of Laten, Frenche, and Doche”), was prepared in 1508 and published in London in 1509; the 1570 edition is described as translated e Latino sermone only. The Latin version expands the German text considerably; Barclay's English text is twice as long as the Latin and three times as long as the original German.

65 First French edition, 1668; Quaedam Fontani Fabulae senariis versibus redditae, by S. F. Bertrand (Nantes, 1749); Fabulae selectae, e Gallico in Latinum conversae, by J. B. Giraud (Rouen, 1765).

There are a number of versions of excerpts from the history, most of them published during the seventeenth century.

68 Compendio dell'historie del regno di Napoli (Venice, 1543); Historiae Neapolitanae … libri sex … omnia ex Italico sermone in Latinum conversa, Joanne Nicolao Stupano, Rheto, interprete (Basel, 1572). The same version appeared with Giovanni Pontano's (original Latin) history of the Neapolitan War in a volume—of which there is a copy in the Bodleian but none in the British Museum or Bibliothèque Nationale—- published in Durdrecht in 1618. Simon Schardius had earlier translated part of Collenuccio's history as Friderici Iunioris, huius nominis secundi, imperatoris vita, printed in P. della Vigne, Petri de Vineis Epistolarum libri sex (Basel, 1566).

69 Turcicarum rerum commentarius Fault lovii, episcopi Nucerini, ad Carolum V, ex Italico Latinus factus, Francisco Bassianate interprete, M.D.XXXI (Strasbourg, 1550). There is a Latin translation from Giovio published at Wittenberg in 1537 entitled De rebus gestis et vitis imperatorum Turcarum; this I have not seen, and have no idea whether or not it is identical with the above version of the Commentari.

70 Ioannis Petri Contarini … Historiae de bello nuper Venetis a Selimo II Turcarum Imperatore altato, liber unus … conversus a Ioanne Nicolao Stupano (Basel, 1573; 2d ed., 1584).

73 Duo Gallicarum rerum scriptores nobilissimi … a J. Sleidano e Gallico in Latinum sermonem conrersi (Frankfort, 15S4). Golding's English version of 1608 is from Latin, not French. The first edition of the Froissart version appeared in Paris in 1537.

74 Philippi Cominaei … Commemorationum rerum gestarum dictarumque Ludovici undecimi et Caroli octari … libri oclo: Caspar Barthius exemplar Gallicum … Latinitati transscribebat (Frankfort, 1629).

76 His Discours sur l'histoire universelle à Monseigneur le Dauphin (Paris, 1681) broke off at AD. 800; two further volumes (by Jean de la Barre) brought the work from 800 to 1687 and from 1688 to 1713. Bossuet's is not the only Latinized universal history'; at the close of the seventeenth century Cramer, Johann Friedrich published Samuelis Puffendorfii Introductio ad historiam europaeam (Utrecht, 1693).Google Scholar

77 Vita Reginaldi Poli Britanni, S. R. E. [i.e., Sacrae Romanae Ecclesiae] Cardinalis et Cantuarensis Archiepiscopi, ex Italico Latina reddita ab Andrea Dudithio (Venice, 1563). Beccadelli was bishop of Ravello and then of Ragusa.

78 Vita Beati Ioannis a Deo: Item, Petri Peccatoris eiusdem ordinis religiosi … Latinitate donata ab Arnoldo de Raisse (Douay, 1623); another Latin version was made by Martinus Serrus (Ingolstadt, 1625).

80 Galeacci Caraccioli Vici Marchionis Vita, qua constantiae vere Christianae exemplar rarum proponitur ([Geneva?], 1596). Théodore de Bèze, whom James Laing of the Sorbonne called omnium haereticorum nostri temporis facile princeps, was the subject of a biography by Jérôme Hermes de Bolsec, or Bolzec (Paris, 1582), which was also translated into Latin: Historia de vita, moribus, doctrina, et rebus gestis Theodori Bezae … Latine reddita per Pantaleonem Theveninum (Ingolstadt, 1584); Laing also published a Latin version of the same work (Paris, 1585). Bolsec's earlier biography of John Calvin (Paris, 1577) was translated into Latin by Laing: Historia de vita et moribus atque morte Johannis Calvini, published in his De vita et moribus atque rebus gestis haereticorum nostri temporis (Paris, 1581) and separately the following year’ (Cologne, 1582).

Maria Maddalena de’ Pazzi, which (so far as I know) remained in manuscript until 1884.

82 Vita Beati Nicolai Albergati … conversa a reverendo P. Lud. I. e Societate Iesu [i.e., Louis Janin] (Paris, 1659).

83 Muratori, Lodovico A., Rerum Italicarum Scriptores, XX, 519 ff.Google Scholar; but it is a translation only in the sense that Landino's Seni senarii is a translation of Petrarch (cf. n. 15 above), and the Enciclopedia italiana more properly calls it a classeghiante rielaborazione of Vespasiano's work.

85 De vita et rebus gestis nobilissimi illustrissimique Principis Gulielmi Ducis Novocastrensis commentarii (London, 1668); the unnamed translator was Charleton, Walter, whose English romance The Ephesian Matron (London, 1659)Google Scholar—a story which first appears in western European literature in the Satyricon of Petronius—was translated into Latin by Bartholomew Harris as Matrona Ephesia, sive lusus serius de amore (London, 1665).

The false attribution in the title cited in n. 111 is due to the fact that the English original contained dedicatory verses addressed to the King by Charles Arbuthnot.

122 One of the most influential medical works ever written was not a version of a vernacular work but was written in Latin and so published, viz. the Opera in chyrurgia (Rome, 1514), of Joannes de Vigo (1460-1520), physician to Pope Julius II; this work ran through at least fifty-two editions in its original form and was translated almost numberless times later on. It was especially useful since it dealt at great length with the two most difficult problems of Renaissance surgery—epidemic syphilis and gunshot wounds; accordingly, it remained the standard surgical textbook in Europe for over two hundred years.

123 Its subtitle is De herbis et plantis; De animalibus et reptilibus; De avibus et volatilibus; De lapidibus in terrae venis nascentibus; De minis et earum speciebus; Tabula medicinalis, cum directorio generali.

180 His most famous work, of course, is Les Six livres de la Republique (Lyons, 1580), a treatise of 739 pages, translated by Bodin himself as De republica libri sex (Lyons, 1586), with considerable additions. A volume published at Erfurt in 1603 per I. Pistorium (Johann Mueller, presumably) contains a Latin text translated from the French, Italian, and Spanish of Bodin, Fausto Longiano, and “a certain prince,” comparing the views of all three on the ideal education of a ruler: Consilia Iohannis Bodini Galli et Pausti Longiani, de principe recte instituendo; Cum praeceptis cuiusdam principis politicis.

182 Assertio luris Monarchici in Regno Scotorum (London, 1653). Much of this work is a rebuttal of Buchanan's (original Latin) treatise. James advice to his son was also translated: Bασικòv Δωpov; or his Majesties Instructions to his dearest sonne Henry the Prince (Edinburgh, 1603); Potentissimi Anglorum Regis Iacobi … Donum Regium; sive de Institutione Principis (Frankfort, 1679).
