Parthenicôn Elisabethae Ioannae Westoniae, virginis nobilissimae, poëtriae florentissimae, linguarum plurimarum peritissimae
Title:
Parthenicôn Elisabethae Ioannae Westoniae, virginis nobilissimae, poëtriae florentissimae, linguarum plurimarum peritissimae
Description:
Elizabeth Jane Weston wrote more Latin occasional poems than any other English woman. Her family moved to Prague when she was still a child, and when her family fell on hard times, she wrote a series of poems pleading for the restitution of their goods and seeking patronage. Her second book of verse, Parthenicôn, presents an expanded and revised version of those poems. Note the woodcut figure on the title page with its oversized quill pen.
