What reading level is Select Translations From Scaliger's Poetics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
produce a pure history. Lucan must diflfer from Livy, and the difference is verse. Verse is the property of the poet. Then who will deny that all epic poets go to history for their subjects? History, some- times delineated only in semblance, sometimes idealized, and always with changed aspect, is made the basis of poetry.
Is not this the practice of Homer? Do we not do this in the tragedies themselves? Such is the practice of Lucan.
Instance the image of the country offering itself to Caesar, t...he spirit called fortlfi from Hades, and other such episodes.
Wherefore, indeed, it seems to me that it would be better to give the title of poet to Livy than to deny it to Lucan. I'or as the tragic poets base their plays upon true events, but adapt the actions and speeches to the characters, so Livy and Thucydides insert orations which were never recognized by those to whom they were attributed. Moreover, although Aristotle exercised this censure so severely that he would refuse the name of poet to versifiers, yet in practice he speaks diflferently, and says: 'As Empedoclcs poetically wrote (cTTooyo-cv)'; SO he even calls Empedocles, who feigned not at all, a poet.
