| Summary: | The oratio funebris atque consolatoria for Antonio Cardona, a hitherto unknown work of the Friar Minor Pietro Galatino (ca.1460-1539/49), composed in the aftermath of the South Italian aristocrat’s death (21 September 1513) and transmitted by an early print, comprises the literary genres of the laudatio unebris and the consolatio as well as an epitaph. According to the panegyricrhetoric employed, the author praises not only the Cardona family (laus stirpis), but also the gesta pręclara and virtutes of the protagonist. It is particularly inthe presentation of the virtues that the author applies the ideas of his first work, De optimo principe, a mirror for princes. He does so with the implicit help of various collections of exempla, comparing the protagonist with historical figures of the ancient world. |
