La producción poética del humanista Pierio Valeriano (Belluno 1477 - Padua 1558), aunque considerablemente amplia, ha sido poco estudiada.
Su nombre y fama van ligados a sus obras en prosa, en especial a los Hieroglyphica. Se pretende mostrar en estas páginas que la vocación y actividad del joven humanista tuvo como centro precisamente la poesía. De ello da noticia un poema autobiográfico de juventud, De calamitate uitae suae, escrito cuando su autor tenía 24 años y pretendía ampliar sus horizontes literarios. Los versos del poema se publican como apéndice, y a ellos se hacen algunas referencias y observaciones.
The poetic production of the humanist Pierio Valeriano (Belluno 1477 - Padua 1558) has been rarely studied, even though it is rather extensive. His name and reputation are linked to his prose works, in particular Hieroglyphica. These papers attempt to show that it is precisely poetry that lies at the centre of the young humanist�s vocation and activity. This can be seen in his early autobiographical poem De calamitate uitae suae, which he wrote when he was 24 years old and was trying to expand his literary horizons. The full text of the poem is included in an appendix, and several references to it and comments on it are made.
