Pietro Bembo on Etna: The Ascent of a Venetian Humanist
Williams, Gareth D. (Professor of Classics, Professor of Classics, Columbia University)
This book is centered on the Venetian humanist Pietro Bembo (1470-1547), on his ascent of Mount Etna in 1493, and above all on the striking artistic originality of the elegant Latin work that he wrote about his climb after his return to Venice in 1494: his De Aetna, published at the Aldine press in Venice in 1496.
