Works
Adriano Politi is best known today for his Italian translation of Tacitus (Opere di C. Tacito, Rome, 1604 and 1611; a revised and improved edition of Politi's translation was published in Venice in 1644). Politi's translation was reissued in the luxurious edition of Tacitus's complete works, edited by Girolamo Canini d'Anghiari.[3] Published in 1618 by Giunti and Ciotti, this new edition of Politi's translation was hugely successful despite being a complex and expensive work. When he reprinted it just two years later the printer Giunti noted that in only a few months it had sold 1,200 copies but demand outstripped the supply.[4] The edition was reissued three times during the first half of the century (1620, 1628, and 1641).
Politi is also known for his Dittionario toscano, published in 1613–14, and for his place in the Questione della lingua.Шаблон:Sfn A defender of the Sienese dialect, he followed Claudio Tolomei's lead in rejecting Florentine exclusivity. His Dittionario, an abridgment of the Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca, added Sienese equivalents to some of the VocabolarioШаблон:'s distinctively Florentine lexical items.[5] Among his other notable works is the Ordo Romanæ historiæ legendæ (Venice, 1627, and in vol. 3 of Gaudenzio Roberti's Miscellanea Italica erudita).
