This is an elegant volume of pastoral poetry, containing translations
and original poems. The translations are from the Bucolios of Virgil,
by Bernardo Pulci; and the poems are by Francesco de Arsochi,
Hieronymo Benivieni, and Iacopo Fiorino de Boninsegni. The title
page, which specifies these, with an ornamental wood-cut, will be
found copied in the Bibliograpliical Decameron; as an early specimen
of an ornamental title-page composed in the modern fashion. It should
however be noticed that there are two original elegies by Pulci, upon
the deaths of Cosmo de Medici and Sumonetta. Consult Mr. Roscoe’s
Lor. de Medici, vol. i., p. 327-3, Svo. ed. upon the subject of this desirable
volume. Denis, p.377s bas been copious in the title ; apparently upon
