"libros de caballerias" on the other, the Portuguese-Spaniard
Montemayor created his famous "Diana." This work, like Sidney's
"Arcadia," is partly in prose and partly in verse, and, in
such English development as arose from the pastoral, the
influence of the Spaniard must be reckoned with that of the
Neapolitan. It appears in Spenser's "Shepheard's Calendar", and
incidentally, it may be observed, that before writing his "Two
Gentlemen of Verona" Shakespeare would seem at least to have
been told of the substance of Montemayor'.

Largely influenced Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Pope and
Shakespeare.
'In and before the poems of Chaucer, the poems of Ovid upon
love and its cure were much drawn upon by writers of romance
and allegories. They were the direct inspiration of much of the
troubadour poetry of Provence, and thence of the mediaeval
lyric verse of Europe in general. Ovidian borrowings are
manifest in the "Romance of the Rose". Chaucer himself was a
student of Ovid, Lucan, Virgil, "Stace" and also Livy. From
Ovid's "Metamorphoses," and love-elegies in particular, he took
much matter. Spenser's "Faerie Queene" is full of borrowings
from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". The effect of Ovid on Shakespeare
is manifest in his "Venus and Adonis"'.

Lorde Morley, 1565.
The form of the sonnets of Petrarch as introduced into
England by Wyatt and Surrey became very popular in the time
of Elizabeth. The following are amongst the more important
writers of sonnets influenced by P.: Sidney, 'Astrophel and
Stella'; Dryden, 'Idea'; Constable, 'Diana'; Daniel, 'Delia';
Watson, 'Teares of Fansie'; Spenser, 'Amoretta'; Shakespeare,
'Sonnets'; and Milton, 'Sonnets'; Tottel's 'Miscellany'
(which as a collection of the Elizabethan poets) is markedly
influenced by P.
=PETRONIUS.= _c._ 50. =Latin satirist.=
THE SATYR OF TITUS PETRONIUS ARBITER. _Tr._ by Wm. Burnaby and

FABLES. _Tr._ by J. Davidson, 1745.
FIFTY FABLES OF PHÆDRUS, in Latin, French and English. _Tr._ by D.
Bellamy, 1734.
'Phaedrus put into verse the Greek fables--commonly fathered
all alike on "Æsop"--which he could find current in his day.
The collection is probably much the same as that of the Greek
"Demetrius Phalereus" (300 B.C.). From the point of view
of both morals and language, the book served admirably for
schoolboys, and it is at least one of the main sources of the
fables which found their way into England, first with Alfred,
and, later, in more force with Caxton's "Æsop"'.
=PILPAY= (=BÍDPÁÍ=). =Oriental fabulist.=
[1] THE MORALL PHILOSOPHIE OF DONI--drawne out of Ancient Writers ...
_Tr._ by Sir T. North, 1570.
THE INSTRUCTIVE AND ENTERTAINING FABLES OF PILPAY made English (for
the Duke of Gloucester), 1679.
[1] [This celebrated Arabian fable-book, 'Calilah i Dumnah'
(_q.v._) is better known in Europe as 'Pilpay's Fables'.]
Several European fabulists, including Æsop, La Fontaine, have
drawn largely from the fables of P.
=PINDAR.= _b._ 522, _d._ 442 B.C. =Greek lyric poet.=

'Alexander's Feast', by Pope, in 'Ode on St. Cecilia's Day', by
Gray in 'Progress of Poesy', by Shelley in 'Ode to Liberty'.
'Milton's "Ode on the Morning of the Nativity" is intended to
be Pindaric'.

WORKS OF PLATO, abridg'd, with an account of his life, philosophy,
morals and politics, together with a translation of his choicest
dialogues. By M. Dacier. _Tr._ from the French, 1701.
The 'Republic' is the model for all ideal commonwealths, e.g.
More's 'Utopia', Bacon's 'New Atlantis', etc. Berkeley's
'Alciphron' is based on the 'Dialogues'.
The philosophy of P. influenced the poetry of Shelley, and
Wordsworth's 'Intimations of Immortality'. His philosophy has
affected all subsequent philosophers.
=PLAUTUS, TITUS MACCIUS.= _b._ 254, _d._ 184 B.C. =Roman comedian.=
COMEDIES. Amphitryon, Epidicus and Rudens. _Tr._ by [Laurence
Echard]. 1694.

1595.
Formed type of Italian comedy of Renaissance. Shakespeare's
'Comedy of Errors' is an adaptation from Plautus's 'Menaechmi'.
Dryden's 'Amphitryon' is adapted from Plautus through Molière.
'Sackville sought his comic models in Plautus'.
=PLINY= (=GAIUS PLINIUS SECUNDUS=). _The elder._ _b._ 23, _d._ 79.

A SUMMARIE OF THE ANTIQUITIES AND
WONDERS OF THE WORLDE, abstracted out of the sixtene first bookes of
Pliny. _Tr._ by J. R. [1565].
An important source of our knowledge of early science.
'Doubtless Pliny's "Encyclopædia" is ultimately responsible for
much of the confused natural history of the Middle Ages, and
not only Chaucer, but also the sixteenth century Euphuists,
with their egregious similitudes, are almost certainly in his
debt'.
=PLINY, CAIUS.= (=CAIUS PLINIUS CAECILIUS SECUNDUS.=) _The younger._
_b._ 61 A.D., =Latin author and orator.=
THE LETTERS OF PLINY THE CONSUL, with occasional remarks by Wm.

1603.
A RIGHT NOBLE HISTORY OF THE SUCCESSORS OF ALEXANDER AND SOME OF
THEIR LIVES. Written by ... P. etc., 1569.
Shakespeare used North's tr. of Plutarch's 'Lives' freely for
his plots as is seen in _Coriolanus_, _Julius Caesar_. P. also
initiated the biographical essay, of whom we have the best
exponent in Macaulay. Has formed a model for all later writers.

Wilton' by Nash was the first example in English. It was later
followed by 'Moll Flanders' and 'Colonel Jack' by Defoe,
the 'Joseph Andrews' of Fielding, the 'Roderick Random' and
'Peregrine Pickle' of Smollett. In the nineteenth century we
find it imitated by Dumas in 'The Three Musketeers' and also in
some of the later minor novelists.
