	ARIOSTO, L., Der Rasende Roland and Kleinere Werke. 3 Volumes . Uebersetzt und eingeleitet von Alfons Kissner. Muenchen, Georg Mueller, n.d. [1908/09], XLIII, 634, XV,722, LIII,660pp. with numerous b.&w. illus. mounted on heavy paper, orig. half leather, richly gilt, heads of spines s lightly rubbed, spine of vol. one with very small surface defect at base. One of an edition limited to 835 numbered copies (numberd 603 and 688) First complete edition in German, a fine set. ¶ Ariosto, the Italian poet, is remembered primarily for his ORLANDO FURIOSO, published in its final version in 1532. Ariosto's work was the most celebrated narrative poem of the Italian high Renaissance. Ariosto began writing Orlado Furioso in about 1505, but he constantly expanded the work, polished its metre, and revised it to fit in the Tuscan vernacular. In 1507 he read the unfinished work to the convalescent Isabella Gonzaga d'Este, "causing two days to pass not only without boredom but with the greatest of pleasure." It took sixteen years before Ariosto published the 1532 edition, a year before his death. The plot revolves around the conflict of the Christian versus the Moor, the war between Charles, the Holy Roman Emperor, and Agramante, King of North Africa, and Marsilio, King of Spain. With the defeat and death of Agramante, the conflict ends, and Marsilio returns to Spain. [ GL ].
