oa La métrique des Odes d’Ercole Strozzi

Ercole Strozzi’s Carminum liber unites 9 odes: 8 religious poems according to the Christian liturgical calendar (mixing temporal and sanctoral), from the Annunciation to Whitsun to finish with a praise of the Virgin of the Seven Joys, and, in the end, a profane ode directly inspired by Horatius. His religious lyricism takes roots in the Christian latin hymnody (Ambrosius, Prudentius), but doesn’t forget the lyric tradition of Horatius: Ercole Strozzi searches an original way between this two traditions.
