englischThis third volume of "Napoleo Latinitate vestitus" covers the period between the Peace of Tilsit (25 poems) and the pregnancy of Marie-Louise. The volume is preceded by an adaption of "Bardus Hercyniae", an Ossianic epic for Napoleon in 1747 hexameters. Paul-Henri Marron, Louis-François Cauchy, Napoleon’s personal physician Paul-Gabriel Le Preux and the teacher Pierre Crouzet are among the French poets who pay homage to Napoleon. 19 poems concentrate on the wedding of Napoleon and Marie-Louise, six poems focus on her pregnancy. All poems were written between 1807 and 1811, not only in France, but also in Germany, Austria and Italy, and they reveal the authors’ great hope for peace. A poem by Joseph Matthias Arnold, written on 1 March 1810, provides some insight into life during the Napoleonic era against the background of personal misfortunes. All translations of the poems maintain the metre of the Latin original. Introductions and commentaries serve the purpose of elucidating the Neo-Latin texts both in their contemporary historical contexts and from the literary perspective of the rich tradition, ranging over two millennia, of the Latin language and literature.
