- This paper examines the private library of Juan Fernández de Velasco (c. 1550–1613), the fifth Duke of Frías, who served Felipe II and Felipe III on diplomatic missions and was twice Governor of the Duchy of Milan, in 1592–1600 and 1610–1612. During his life, Fernández de Velasco gathered an impressive collection of books containing a broad range of poetic works in vernacular languages. The epic poems in this collection are mainly in Italian (some in dialect) but there are also examples of Spanish works and the most important epic poems in French and Portuguese. In general, the collection offers a comprehensive account of the different schools in the epic genre, even though Spanish works are under-represented, especially those inspired by Spain’s colonial conquests or written in praise of the house of Austria. The paper includes an appendix listing the works and authors comprising the collection.
