‘Ex illo mea, mi Daniel, Victoria pendet’ : A Forgotten Spiritual Epigram by Vittoria Colonna
View through CrossRef
On 27 November 1537, the Ferrarese humanist Daniele Fini sent a Latin
epigram to Vittoria Colonna, at that time residing in Ferrara. She responded
a few months later with an epigram of her own, a poem that has been
all but neglected in the scholarship. This essay aims to verify Colonna’s
authorship of the epigram through analysis of the manuscript against the
historical details of the author’s life and travels, as well as a comparison
with the lexicon and themes of her vernacular rime spirituali.
