The Epithalamium of Matthaeus Andreis. The Genre and the Structure of the Work

Summary/Abstract: The Epithalamium, a literary wedding song in the classical times, was revived during the Renaissance period. Among the humanist poets who wrote following the conventions of the ancient genre was Matthaeus Andreis from Trogir. In 1502 he published an narrative-epic epithalamium celebrating the wedding of the king of Hungary and Bohemia, Vladislaus II. This erudite poem uses various elements from its classical predecessors - works by Catullus, Statius, Claudian - but adapting, merging and blending them.
