AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The poem moves the Jerusalem Delivered from 20 cantos to 24, following the model of classical epics like the Iliad. Moral purification: Tasso removed or toned down many episodes of love and magic (such as certain parts with Armida and Clorinda) that had been criticized by ecclesiastical reviewers or that troubled his religious scruples. Return to origins: The narrative recuperates aspects of the poet's very first youthful draft (the Gierusalemme) to give maximum prominence to the historical and religious truth of the First Crusade led by Godfrey of Bouillon.
The editions of 1594 After the Roman princeps of 1593, the year 1594 saw important reissues in several Italian cities, including Pavia and Milan. The edition printed in Pavia in 1594 (with the aid of the reviser Massarengo) is historically regarded as one of the most carefully produced and prized among the early editorial replicas of the text
2 blank pages, title page, blank page, 4 pages of preface, 303 pages, blank page, 27 pages of plates, 3 blank pages.
