| Abstract: | Buonamico, a contemporary of Grand Master Brother Nicholas Cottoner (1663-1680), has left us a good number of Latin poems which I shall have the honour of discussing in this welcome collection of articles in honour of our writer. My interests shall fall on some of the Latin poems, prose and inscriptions Buonamico composed, with a view to illustrating the quality of the Latin he used and the prosody he employed in the poems. The poems under discussion can be broadly divided into three parts: 1. Those which belong to the Gaudia Melitensia sive Divi Pauli Apostoli gesta in Melita Insula totidem epigrammatis celebrata; 2. the Kalendae Maiae dedicated to Grand Master Nicholas Cottoner; and 3. the shorter poems and inscriptions dedicated to various individuals or referring to other decorative objects. |
