EINE LOBES- UND BITTODE AUS VIERZEILIGEN STROPHEN MIT JE DREI VERSMAẞEN VON FRANCISCUS NIGER, DOKTOR AUS VENEDIG, AN DEN EHRWÜRDIGEN SENAT VON WIEN

FRANCISCI NIGRI VENETI DOCTORIS IN SANCTUM VIENNENSIUM SENATUM ODE DICOLOS TETRASTROPHOS PAEONIPROSEUCTICE

Beschreibung
In this poem in Sapphic stanzas, Niger praises the Viennese Senate with all its honourable qualities such as virtue, righteousness and wisdom, all its accomplished achievements and its meritorious patronage of poets. The author will travel the world, but through all dangers and barriers will always loyally sing the praises of the Senate.

As mentioned in the case of C. 64, the addressee of C. 65 is completely different from that of the poem contained in the manuscript A (fol. 150v–153r): the former is the sanctus Viennensium senatus (also defined as sanctus Germani populi senatus), the latter is Beltramo Costabile, a clergyman from Ferrara.

The process of adapting the poem to a new addressee results in metrical mistakes.

3 Delphicae rupis specimen, probator Musterbild der delphischen Felsengrotte, beständiger
Delphicae rupis
reference to the Panhellenic Sanctuary of Delphi. In this context, the compilator of O establishes a connection between the Senate, gathering all the prominent members of the imperial government, and the ancient sanctuary, which brought together all Greeks worshipping Apollo.

9 Cui decus semper pietasque cordi est dem Ehre und Pflichtgefühl stets am Herzen liegen,
10 Et Fides albo decorata panno ebenso wie die Treue, in eine weiße Robe gehüllt,
11 Quaeque dilectum crepitans salutat sowie jene, die mit klapperndem Schlag ihr geliebtes
Quaeque dilectum crepitans salutat...Verbere nidum
these verses are certainly inspired by Juvenal’s description of personified virtues: [...] ut colitur Pax atque Fides, Victoria, Virtus, quaeque salutato crepitat Concordia nido (1,115–6). From this we can conclude that here too the goddess Concordia, the personified concord/harmony/agreement is meant. The interpretation of this Juvenal passage has long been disputed; one common theory involves a possible stork’s nest in the temple of Concordia. No fully convincing explanation of this statement has been found so far.
