Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poems written in the 1630s by Arthur Johnston, a Scottish medical doctor who wrote Latin poetry as a hobby. Many of the poems commemorate famous people of the time and include a significant number that are dedicated to or written about famous Scots. The author was a strong supporter of the Scottish king, Charles I, and includes various poems with a political slant. The poems are a good example of the neo-Latin poetry that was popular during the Renaissance, and include a range of styles and subjects reflecting the author's life experience and humanist education. The poems are of significant interest to anyone curious about the era or the history of Latin poetry. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
