1582 1^ed Girolamo Muzio Battaglia Defense of Italian Language Literature Venice

Girolamo Muzio was a 16^th-century Venetian author known for his works written in Italian. Perhaps his best Italian work was his ‘Battaglia’ – a book written to defend the use of vernacular Italian when it comes to language usage in prose and literature. This book contains numerous letters to Italian figureheads pressing the matter of not using Latin as the main written and publishing language.
