Cynthia, seu, Elegarium libri tres

Aldegati, Marcantonio, active 14th century · [1476–1483]

Marcantonio Aldegati (Marcus Antonius Aldegatus) was a professor of poetry at Ravenna around 1480. This is the only known manuscript of this unpublished poem. This elegy to Cynthia was written in Mantua between 1476 and 1483 and is dedicated to the manuscript's first owner, the Cardinal of Santa Maria Nova, Francesco Gonzaga; it is included in his 1483 inventory (see Bottari, p. 21, note 2).
