De Philippo Callimacho elegicorum Romanorum imitatore

Juliusz Domański, whose book Le texte comme présence was published recently in our series, wrote his doctoral thesis (printed in 1966) on Fannietum, a cycle of amatory elegies by Filippo Buonaccorsi (Callimachus), a humanist exiled from Italy who settled in Poland and exerted influence on the development of the Polish Renaissance. The thesis, written in admirable Latin, discusses Callimachus' use of the works of ancient Latin elegiac poets. Due to a lack of paper, the last two chapters were omitted from the book and printed in a journal as recently as 2014. The present book contains the whole of the dissertation as well as the text of Fannietum to which the author constantly refers.

Dans l'ouvrage de Juliusz Domański, Philippe Callimachus trouve une nouvelle présence. Les analyses de ses élégies, conduites avec une érudition philologique d'une rigueur exceptionnelle, mettent en lumière le dialogue intertextuel qu'il entretient avec la littérature antique et ouvrent l'accès à l'univers riche et nuancé de la culture de la Renaissance.

Callimaco aspira ad una fusione di orizzonti psicologici ed esistenziali con gli elegiaci latini del I sec. a.C. Con impeccabili acribia filologica e conoscenza dei motivi intellettuali dell'epoca Domański ri-presenta tale aspirazione, accompagnando il lettore in un affascinante viaggio nei meandri del processo poetico di questo singolare umanista quattrocentesco.
