Abstract

Michael Verancius greatly criticized the historical work of Valentinus Polidamus, one of his contemporaries in his satirical elegy in 1536. He did so in a rather unique way. The main aim of the present paper is to outline the classical allusions of this elegy to a great extent (primarily the parallels with Volusius and Choerilus). Moreover, Polyhymnia and Clio appear in a quite unusual description in his elegy. Although the background of his criticism (namely that Polidamus was an untalented historian) might also have been valid, it is not outlined here in details since it would be a separate topic.
