SANNAZARO, JACOPO (1458-1530)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 154 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SANNAZARO, JACOPO (1458-1530) , Italian poet of the Renaissance, was born in 1458 at Naples of a noble family, said to have been of Spanish origin, which had its seat at San Nazaro near Pavia. His father died during the boyhood of Jacopo, who was brought up at Nocera Inferiore. He afterwards studied at Naples under Giovanni Pontanus, when, according to the fashion of the time, he assumed the name Actius Syncerus, by which he is occasionally referred to. After the death of his
mother
  he went abroaddriven, we are told, by the pangs of despised love for a certain Carmosina, whom he has celebrated in his verse under various names; but of the details of his travels nothing is recorded. On his return he speedily achieved fame as a poet and place as a courtier, receiving from Frederick III. as a country residence the Villa Mergillina near Naples. When his
patron
  was compelled to take
refuge
  in France in 1501 he was accompanied by
Sannazaro
 , who did not return to Italy till after his death (1504). The later years of the poet seem to
have been spent at Naples. He died on the 27th of
April
  1530.
The
Arcadia
  of
Sannazaro
 , begun in early
life
  and published in 1504, is a somewhat affected and insipid Italian
pastoral
 , in which in alternate
prose
  and verse the scenes and occupations of
pastoral
 
life
  are described. See Scherillo's edition (
Turin
 , 1888). His now seldom read Latin poem De partu Virginis, which gained for him the name of the " Christian Virgil," appeared in 1526, and his collected Sonetti e canzoni in 1530.
