Paradise","description":"Ugolino Verino (1438-1516) was among the principal Latin poets in the Florence of Lorenzo de'Medici. A student of Cristoforo Landino, whose youthful love poems Verino imitated, Verino was a leading figure in the Renaissance revival of ancient Latin elegy. He blended Propertius, Ovid's \u003ci\u003eAmores, \u003c\/i\u003e and elements of Petrarch's lyric style to forge a distinctive poetic voice in a three-book cycle of poems in honor of his lady-love, Fiammetta. His \u003ci\u003eParadise, \u003c\/i\u003e by contrast, is a vision-poem indebted to Vergil's \u003ci\u003eAeneid, \u003c\/i\u003e Dante, and Cicero's \u003ci\u003eDream of Scipio, \u003c\/i\u003e in which Ugolino is taken on a tour of Heaven and the afterlife by the recently deceased Cosimo de'Medici.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ugolino Verino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067408862X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674088627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Ugolino Verino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054246785279,"sku":"9780674088627","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01ba9403-5927-41fe-be1b-f30adeb09f0f.jpg?v=1685028861","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fiammetta-paradise-ugolino-verino-9780674088627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
