Note 579 — Chapter VIII

This curious monody, so unlike Politian’s other Latin compositions, stands at the end of his works in the edition of 1498. [In Del Lungo, p. 274.] The poem in terza rima, on Lorenzo’s death, printed in the edition of his Italian poems published at Florence in 1814, from a Riccardi MS. (in Carducci’s ed. p. 382 et seq.) is unquestionably not Politian’s.
