Selected Poems From Michelangelo Buonarroti: With Translations From Various Sources (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Selected Poems From Michelangelo Buonarroti: With Translations From Various SourcesMichelangelo to the public, especially to young readers who, possessing a slight knowledge of Italian, would shrink from the difficulties of the text without assistance. For this reason I give the Italian according to the best authority, with an English translation, which will be interesting in itself, and also afford the young student the needed help in catching the thought of the original, which cannot always be obtained by a literal rendering of the text. The first reading is always given, unless otherwise indicated. I have used Guasti's valuable edition as my authority for the Italian.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
