Tito Vespasiano Strozzi (Ferrara, 1424 – ca. 1505) was a Renaissance poet at the Este court of Ferrara, who figures as an interlocutor in Angelo Decembrio's ''De politia litteraria'' ("On literary polish"). A member of the Strozzi family exiled from Florence,〔His sister Lucia was the mother of the humanist courtier-poet Matteo Maria Boiardo. His cousin Tito di Leonardo Strozzi's wife Alessandra Benucci was Ariosto's mistress or secret wife.〕 son of Giovanni, who served in Ferrara as Niccolò III d'Este's commander, Tito was a patrician of Ferrara, where he was educated in humanistic culture. He was a courtier of successive dukes of Ferrara, Leonello, Borso, and Ercole d'Este, and was entrusted with several important posts in the civil magistrature. He was the official champion of the Duke of Ferrara (1473), served as Governor of Rovigo and the Polesine (1473–84) then ''Giudice dei Savi'' (1497-1505), in which post he was succeeded by his son Ercole Strozzi. Strozzi was included in the entourage that accompanied Borso to Rome, March 1471, to be elevated from ''marchese'' to ''duca di Ferrara'' by Pope Sixtus IV Della Rovere. His portrait in profile, bearing the signature of Baldassare d'Este (natural son of Niccolò III d'Este) and the date 1499, was in the collection of at Palazzo Loredan Cini.〔Noted in a review by Carl Brandon Strehlke, "The Cini and Chigi-Saracini Collections. Venice and Siena" ''The Burlington Magazine'' 132 No. 1042 (January 1990:60-61).〕 ==Works== He is more remembered for his humanistic compositions in Latin and some sonnets in Italian. He is said to have spent a lifetime polishing the amorous verses written in the first flush of his youth.〔W. Leonard Grant, "The Life of Naldo Naldi" ''Studies in Philology'' 60.4 (October 1963:606-617) p. 609.〕 His literary style was formed at Verona under the guidance of Guarino. Among his works are the six books of the ''Eroticon'', a series of elegies in refined Latin verse fusing Latin classical training with the spirit of Petrarch.〔Edited by Anita della Guardia, 1916. The developing cultural context under the influence of Guarino is explored in Italo Pantani, ''La fonte di ogni eloquenzia: Il canzoniere petrarchesco nella cultura poetica del Quattrocento ferrarese'' (Rome: Bulzoni) 2002.〕 A fine illuminated manuscript of them, with gold initials and illuminated margins, was purchased by the humanist Celio Calcagnini from the extensive former library of the Aragonese kings of Naples, dispersed by Isabella del Balzo, the deposed queen.〔Santiago López-Ríos, "A New Inventory of the Royal Aragonese Library of Naples" ''Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes'', 65 (2002:201-243) pp 210f, 230f. The codex is now in the Biblioteca Comunale Ariostea, Ferrara (MS Cl. I.368).〕 His heroic ''Borsiade'' celebrating his patron Borso d'Este is lost, save a few fragments.〔Modern edition with commentary: Walther Ludwig, ''Die Borsias des Tito Strozzi'' (Munich: Wilhelm Fink) 1977〕 There are also epigrams, and sermons. His collected ''opere'' were published by Aldus Manutius in 1513, together with works of his son, under the title ''Strozii poëtae pater et filius''.〔"The Strozzi poets, father and son".〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tito Vespasiano Strozzi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
