[12], 88 pp.; 210 mm. ”Aminta” is a Boscareccia fairy tale in verse, the most celebrated work of its kind in all of Italian literature. In five acts, it narrates the love of the shepherd Aminta for the elusive nymph Silvia, in an idyllic and melancholic Arcadian atmosphere that profoundly influenced European pastoral poetry of the 17th and 18th centuries. The work was widely disseminated throughout Europe, inspiring operas, cantatas, and dozens of adaptations. This Parisian edition, revised and corrected by Abbate Annibale Antonini (1702–1755), an Italian grammarian and lexicographer based in Paris, is one of the reference eighteenth-century editions of the text. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
