An Italian poet; born in Florence, Sept. 28, 1493; died at Prato or in Rome, about 1545. His works consist of burlesque poems; two comedies, including "The Shining Ones"; a translation of Apuleius's "Golden Ass"; a didactic story, "Discourses about Animals"; "Dialogue on the Beauties of Women"; and ten "novels", mostly stories in the vein of Boccaccio. He writes in a style of great elegance, but with unpardonable lubricity.
