He is most famous for having written, in Italian, the first pastoral romance in European literature, the \u003ci\u003eArcadia\u003c\/i\u003e (1504). But after this early work, Sannazaro devoted himself entirely to Latin poetry modeled on his beloved Virgil. In addition to his epic \u003ci\u003eThe Virgin Birth\u003c\/i\u003e (1526), which earned him the title of “the Christian Virgil,” he also composed \u003ci\u003ePiscatory Eclogues\u003c\/i\u003e, an innovative adaption of the eclogue form, as well as elegies, epigrams, and a number of shorter works.\nThis volume contains the first complete English translation of all of Sannazaro’s poetry in Latin, accompanied by extensive notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eMichael C.
