Angelo Poliziano: prolusione a un corso sull’Odissea

Edition with introduction and commentary of the inaugural lecture («praelectio») written by Angelo Poliziano for a course on the Odyssey held in Florence's university around 1489. Some passages of the text consist in a literal Latin translation of Aristotle's Poetics (perhaps the first translation to be made directly from the original Greek text in the 15th century).
