| Abstract | The aim of this session is to shed new light on the multi-faceted personality of Enea Silvio Piccolomini, emphasizing more the great humanist and poet laureate than the pope. Thus, the first paper intends to present Enea's lesser known cosmographical writings especially about Asia and the Islam, whereas the next two papers will shed new light on the poet's genius. Finally, the last paper will reveal Enea's almost unknown relation to music. |
