The silent statue theme: complex imitation and Neo-Latin poetry
Keywords:
Neo-Latin literature, epigram, Sautel, Tesauro, Juan de Iriarte
Abstract
This paper analyses how the topic of the silent statue is dealt with in Neo-Latin literature. The subject matter comes from the epigrams about Pythagoras of the Palatine Anthology. There are numerous Neo-Latin imitations of this topic that are complex as various sources are used at the same time. The authors focus on an active reading of the epigrams of their predecessors, applying the traditional motive to new subjects and adapting it to the religious theme.Downloads
