Hieronymus Angerianus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hieronymus Angerianus (Gerolamo or Girolamo Angeriano) (1475-1535) was an influential Italian neo-Latin poet from Apulia. He retired at a young age from the life of the Neapolitan court, to the family estates at Ariano de Puglia[1]
His Erotopaegnion, an epigram collection, was published in 1512 in Florence. He was published in 1582 in the Poetae Tres Elegantissimi (Paris), with Joannes Secundus and Michelle Marullo.

His influence has been traced in Giles Fletcher[2]. He was later translated by Walter Harte[3] and Thomas Moore.
