Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore. The historical site was until the '80s in the heart of the historic centre of Naples in Via San Biagio dei Librai, lower Decumano and also known as the SpaccaNapoli.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Giuseppe Loffredo decided to add book selling to the book production, which definitively imposed itself after World War II with the publication of manuals for the University and for the School that succeeded in establishing themselves soon throughout Italy.

“Dum faciles versus oblectant”, sulle egloghe latine di Boiardo

Best known for the chivalric poem L'inamoramento de Orlando and for the Petrarchese songbook Amorum libri tres, Matteo Maria Boiardo was also the author of Pastoralia (1463-1464), a anthology of ten Latin eglogues. Here we propose an overall study of the work in its twofold encomiastic and loving aspect. The rhetorical-structural analysis of selected passages, with related philological annotations, is accompanied by an intertextual research aimed at highlighting the ancient sources - above all virgilian - and renaissance (in particular, Tito Vespasiano Strozzi).

Author

John Butcher is PhD in Compared Literature at the Academy of Italian-Germanic studies/ Akademie deutsch-italienischer Studien in Merano. 
After studying post-united Italian literature (with monographies on Eugenio Montale, Domenico Rea, Vittoria Aganoor Pompilj e Domenico Gnoli), from 2011 he has been into Italian humanism, studying from Petrarca to Poliziano. 
He also studies Latin poetry in the XV century and the relationships between humanists and Greece. Beside papers on Matteo Maria Boiardo and Giovanni Pontano, he wrote a short monograpy on Gregorio Tifernate’s poetry. Moreover, he has recently handled the editing of “Francesco Maria Staffa, Delle traduzioni dal greco in latino fatte da Gregorio e da Lilio Tifernati” (Umbertide, 2016).
