[14] Of G. Manzini della Motta's Latin tragedy on the fall of Antonio della Scala only a chorus remains. He died after 1389. Probably to the earlier half of the century belongs the Latin prose drama _Columpnarium_, the story of which, though it ends happily, resembles that of _The Cenci_. Later plays in Latin of the historic type are the extant Landivio de' Nobili's _De captivitate Ducis Jacobi_ (the _condottiere_ Jacopo Piccinino, d. 1464); C. Verardi's _Historia Baetica_ (the expulsion of the Moors from Granada) (1492), and the game author's _Ferdinandus_ (of Aragon) _Servatus_, which is called a tragi-comedy because it is neither tragic nor comic. The Florentine L. Dali's _Hiempsal_ (1441-1442) remains in MS. A few tragedies on sacred subjects were produced in Italy during the last quarter of the 15th century, and a little later. Such were the religious dramas written for his pupils by P. Domizio, on which Politian cast contempt; and the tragedies, following ancient models, of T. da Prato of Treviso, B. Campagna of Verona, _De passione Redemptoris_; and G. F. Conti, author of _Theandrothanatos_ and numerous vanished plays. [15] _Imber aureus_ (Danae), &c. [16] L. Bruni's _Poliscena_ (c. 1395); Sicco Polentone's (1370-1463) jovial _Lusus ebriorum_ s. _De lege bibia_; the papal secretary P. Candido Decembrio's (1399-1477) non-extant _Aphrodisia_; L. B. Alberti's _Philodoxios_ (1424); Ugolino Pisani of Parma's (d. before 1462) _Philogenia_ and _Confutatio coquinaria_ (a merry students' play); the _Fraudiphila_ of A. Tridentino, also of Parma, who died after 1470 and perhaps served Pius II.; Eneo Silvio de' Piccolomini's own verse comedy, _Chrisis_, likewise in MS., written in 1444; P. Domizio's _Lucinia_, acted in the palace of Lorenzo de' Medici in 1478, &c. [17] Mondella, _Isifile_ (1582); Fuligni, _Bragadino_ (1589). [18] Home, _Douglas_.
