‎The «Orlando innamorato» completely rewritten by Berni, being by far better appreciated than the original version by Bojardo. Illustrated with cute engraved vignettes heading each one of the 69 chapters.Originally written for the amusement of the author's patron, Duke Hercules D'Este, this is the inventive and humorous story of Orlando's love-striken pursuit of Angelica through a fairyland that combines the military valours of Charlemagne's crusaders with the enchantments of King Arthur's court.“Le poème le plus célèbre de Bojardo, quoique le moins lu, est son «Roland amoureux». ... L'Arioste ... en le continuant, et le Berni, en le refaisant, l'ont tué. ...” (Hoefer). Hoefer NBG III/622-623 and IV/483-484; Diz. Lett. Bompiani (1948) V/312-316. Image disp.‎
