1478 and died in 1550. His idolatry of the classics, which perhaps hampered his natural genius, he derived from the instruction of his Athenian master, Demetrio Calcondila. The " Sophonisba " was composed at Rome, where the talents of the author early recommended him to the notice of Leo X. , to whom in return for his con- sistent patronage Trissino dedicated his /' Sophonisba. " In this dedication the author apologizes for employing the Italian instead of the Latin language, and for having cho
...sen to express himself in blank verse, which he con- siders more adapted for moving the passions than rhyme. He was often employed by the Pope as an ambassador to various States, and it is said that he refused a Cardinal's hat. He never accepted any ecclesiastical dignity, and Voltaire is inaccurate in prefixing the title of " Le Prclat " to his name.
Giovanni Ruccellai (born 1475, died 1526), the nephew of Lorenzo de' Medici and the friend of Trissino, followed closely in the footsteps of the first Italian tragedian, Hut if, stimulated by the modern plot, there is more originality in his tragedy of " Rosmunda, " he falls back again into the character of a humble imitator in his next drama, the " Oreste.
