[247] The chief sources of Sannazzaro's biography are a section of his Arcadia (Prosa, vii.), and his Latin poems. The Sannazzari of Pavia had the honor of mention in Dante's Convito. Among the poet's Latin odes are several addressed to the patron saint of his race. See Sannazarii op. omn. Lat. scripta (Aldus, 1535), pp. 16, 53, 56, 59.
[248] Elegy, "Quod pueritiam egerit in Picentinis," op. cit. p. 27.
[249] Elegy, "Ad Junianum Maium Præceptorem," op. cit. p. 20.
[250] I may refer in particular to Sannazzaro's beautiful elegy "De Studiis suis et Libris Joviani Pontani" among his Latin poems, op. cit. p. 10. For their terra-cotta portraits, see above Revival of Learning, p. 365.
[251] Sannazzaro's two odes on "Villa Mergellina" and "Fons Mergellines" (Op. cit. pp. 31, 53), are among his purest and most charming Latin compositions.
[252] She is described in Prosa iv., and frequently mentioned under the name of Arancio or Amaranta.
[253] See the Epitaph "Hic Amarantha jacet," the last Eclogue of Arcadia, and the Latin eclogue "Mirabar vicina Mycon," in which Carmosina is celebrated under the name of Phyllis. I may here call attention to Pontano's elegy beginning "Harmosyne jacet hic" in the Tumuli, lib. ii. (Joannis Joviani Pontani Amorum Libri, etc., Aldus, 1518, p. 87).
