Benedetto Varchi (1502/1503-1565) was an Italian humanist, a historian and poet. In his time Varchi was notorious for his many sonnets to young boys. Though his loves were not always reciprocated, and despite his denunciations of men who engaged in "filthy loves," he faced criticism by his contemporaries. In 1545, Varchi was arrested and tried for pederasty, and was eventually pardoned by Cosimo de Medici upon the intercession of his many friends. Inscription of Vivianus Giorginus to title, cancelled inscription to leaf *2v., occasional marginal notations.
