| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to analyse Giovanni Muzzarelli’s unaccomplished Fabula di Narciso (1522), a Renaissance appropriation of the Classics, which has so far been largely unexplored. With its precise reproductions of Ovid’s expressions, Muzzarelli’s work is a faithful paraphrase of Ovid’s original text. At the same time, though, it incorporates a number of contaminations with Angelo Poliziano’s Stanze. Muzzarelli’s writing qualifies him as an interpres, elegantly balancing imitation and freedom, and an exemplar writer of the sixteenth-century northern Italian courts’ production. |
