| Summary: | A notebook of the Nuremberg physician Hartmann Schedel, copied in 1504, contains a collection of scurrilously sexual anti-Italian epigrams in Classicizing Latin style, composed by a group of German humanists who met in Regensburg on November 27, 1493. Prominent among them was Conrad Celtis, the first German poet laureate. Contending in essence that the Italian humanists are pederasts, the epigrams illustrate how pervasive were national stereotypes within the international sphere of humanism, and how radically Christian morality had transformed the significance of the Latin erotic lexicon since ancient times. |
