Specialist Notes
THE COMPLETE COLLECTION OF BEMBO'S HUMANISTIC PAMPHLETS
"By publishing Asolani and Rime in 1530, Bembo wanted to confirm once again his fidelity to the humanist tradition and published in the same year his Latin pamphlets, the youthful De Aetna , the later and still unpublished De Virgilii Culice et Terentii fabulis and De Urbini ducibus , and the epistle De Imitatione . This humanist fidelity was in part [...] an ideal uniform of Bembo's culture, of his very life, and in part it was the practical expedient of a man who knew well that in that way he could count for something different in the society of his time than through the vernacular." (Dionisotti, Introduction to Prose e Rime , p.61).
