Martial’ epigram 10.47 ("Vitam quae faciant beatiorem") in Some Neo-Latin Poets
Abstract
This paper studies a Christian-catholic imitation of this Latin epigram that Juan de Silva wrote at the end of the 16th century in Castilian verses. Also we will examine several Neo-latin recreations that European humanists, mainly Germans of the circles Reformists and Protestants, did between the XVIth and XVIIth century, with a clear hostility, not so much towards Martial, since principally against Epicurus. The article finishes with the publishing labor of Scriverius, a «revived Martial», and the epigram that his friend Hugo Grotius wrote to exalt his Martial’s edition.
