Vida wrote a considerable amount of Latin poetry, both secular and sacred, in classical style, particular the style of Virgil. His major work was the Latin epic poem Christiados libri sex ("The Christiad in Six Books"), in the style and much of the language of Virgil.[1] He began work on it under Pope Leo X in the 1510s but did not complete it until the early 1530s.[2] It was published in 1535, well after the pope's death. The poem is an epic poem in six cantos on the life of Christ.[3]
Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Vida. 12mo." This was one of the titles kept by Thomas Jefferson. He later sold a copy of Marci Hieronymi Vidae, Cremonensis, Albae Episcopi, De Arte Poetica Libri Tres to the Library of Congress in 1815, but the volume no longer exists to verify Wythe's prior ownership.[4] The Brown Bibliography[5] includes a 1723 Oxford edition based on E. Millicent Sowerby's inclusion of that edition in Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson. George Wythe's Library[6] on LibraryThing indicates "Precise edition unknown. Sowerby suggests a 1723 Oxford edition, although several other duodecimo editions were published." The Wolf Law Library purchased a copy of the 1723 edition.
