Description
At the request of his friend Othman Lillo Ferducci of Ancona, Gian
Mario Filelfo composed the Amyris in the years 1471-1476. This long
Latin poem was intended to thank Sultan Mehmet II for having freed
Ferducci’s brother-in-law, who had been taken prisoner by the
Turcs during the capture of Constantinople in 1453. Gian Mario
Filelfo had the manuscript decorated in Florence with "bianchi
girari” ornamentation, had it bound in Urbino with a very
beautiful Italian Renaissance binding, and then gave it to the Duke
of Urbino, Federico da Montefeltro, at whose court he was staying
in 1477 and 1478.
