Sure, italian, my bad.

They translated a bunch of latin works and wrote in latin occasionally so that was an oopsie.

Ariosto
Tasso

I think you mean Italian Renaissance writers. You might as well throw in Machiavelli into that mix but he wasn't a translator, however he did study a lot of the works that were rediscovered by Petrarch and pals.

Thanks I actually ordered Orlando Furiosa earlier, I didn't realize it was even from the same time period, thought it was spanish actually.

I know machiavelli has a nice discourse on Livy , I'll get around to him eventually, not too focused on philosophy at the moment but I appreciate it.

I'll look at some of the other works he did though.

Giacomo Leopardi, Giosue Carducci, Giovanni Verga, Luigi Pirandello, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, Eugenio Montale, Italo Svevo, Italo Calvino

Great list thanks, I'll order something from each of them when I get the cash.

don't forget that 'the rape of the bucket' poem

>>8012410
