About the Author

Born Angelo Ambrogini in Tuscany, he was called Poliziano or Politian after the Latin name of his birthplace. At the Medicean court, Lorenzo the Magnificent was his friend and patron, and Luigi Pulci and Pico della Mirandola were close companions. His important works in the vernacular are La favola show more di Orfeo (The Fable of Orpheus) (1480), completed in two days, which ranks as the first Italian secular drama, and the Stanze (1475--78), written in celebration of a courtly tournament, with brilliant scenes of people and events.
