Palingenius, Marcellus, Stellatus, fl. 1528, pseud.?

This important Renaissance poem was prescribed as a textbook in many schools. Bruno praised it. The mathematician Thomas Digges learned Book XI by heart. Gabriel Harvey approved the translation. Shakespeare probably studied it. In the tradition of medieval philosophical poetry, the Zodiake has a “vision” framework, allegorized myths and mythological figures, vividly describes the seven deadly sins, lavishly employs poetic devices and rhetorical ornament, phrases Polonius-like sententious maxims, etches characters with vigorous detail, and employs many images.
