Full description

This chapter carries out a historical-textual analysis of a passionate letter a Muslim slave in Malta sent to Baldassarre Loyola Mandes, a Moroccan ruler who converted to Christianity. It traces not only the traditional homo-erotic poetics of missed love and nostalgia for the beloved in the letter, but also Baldassarre’s translation strategies in his own translation of the same letter into Italian.
