Specialist Notes

PRIMA RARA EDIZIONE.
"This rare work contains the first appearance in print of Milton's private letters as well as his earliest writing, the 'Cambridge Prolusions,' written when he was a student" (Wickenheiser, p. 99).
"Poco prima della sua morte, Milton raccolse e preparò per la stampa una raccolta della sua corrispondenza privata in latino, risalente agli anni Venti del Seicento e scambiata con amici, allievi e conoscenti, sia in Inghilterra che nella comunità degli umanisti dell'Europa continentale. Le lettere dimostrano l'eloquenza del suo neolatino, meno pubblico" (Corns, pp. 111-112, tradotto).
