Marco Girolamo Vida or Marcus Hieronymus Vida (1485? â€“ September 27, 1566) was an Italian humanist, bishop and poet.
Vida wrote a considerable amount of Latin poetry, both secular and sacred, in classical style, particular the style of Virgil. Among his best-known works are the didactic poem in three books, De arte poetica (On the Art of Poetry), partly inspired by Horace, and Scacchia Ludus ("The Game of Chess"), translated into many languages over the centuries. Both poems were first published in 1527.
His major work was the Latin epic poem Christiados libri sex ("The Christiad in Six Books"), in the style and much of the language of Virgil. He began work on it under Pope Leo X, who was elected in 1513, but did not complete it until the early 1530s. It was published in 1535, well after the pope's death on 1 December 1521.
