Hermit poems

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The two Latin hermit poems , the Carmina Einsidlensia , come from a collective manuscript of the Einsiedeln monastery from the 10th century (Codex 266 (1296)) and are assigned to bucolic poetry from the time of the Roman emperor Nero (54-68).

The first hermit poem contains panegyric about Emperor Nero with the argument between the two shepherds Thamyras and Ladas , the second poem describes the golden age under Nero.
