Jean Visagier of Reims, Hendecasyllable… (Io. Vulteii Rhemensis hendecasyllaborum...) [Latin] Year: 1538 Call Number: RBK1500-00046 Hendecasyllable is a form of poetry popular in the Ancient Greek and Roman periods, consisting of lines of eleven syllables, usually with a fixed pattern of syllables. The most common form is the Phalaecian hendecasyllable, which is characterized by a combination of five short syllables and six long syllables. The hendecasyllabic verse later became central to Italian poetry during the Renaissance, as the dominant metre in the Italian sonnet and in the works of poets such as Dante Alighieri and Francesco Petrarca. The flexibility, musicality, and rhythmic variety of poetry make it ideal for expressing subtle emotions and complex ideas. As a typical early classical work, this book is of great value in the study of 11-syllable poems. What is interesting is that there is a stamp on the interlining of this book, with the words “1000 €” written below, which should mean one thousand euros, and there are two other lines of text below: “Renouarol, 299.” and “Cistanate”, indicating the transaction and circulation of this book in the book market. 278 52
