Abstract

This paper offers a Latin poem written by Pedro del Frago, conceived like a Christian oratio, to celebrate Isabel de Valois’ arrival in Spain (1560). That poem is as a pretext for doing long annotations in which the author defends the Council of Trent and the Catholic struggle against the heresy. Frago has also introduced some topics of the epithalamium in the poem, perhaps under the influence of the humanist Diego de Guevara.
