Hieronymus Angerianus or Girolamo Angeriano (died 1535) was an influential Italian
Neo-Latin poet from
Apulia. He retired at a young age from the life of the Neapolitan court, to the family estates at
Ariano di Puglia.[1]
His Erōtoπαιγνιον (Erotopaegnion), an epigram collection, was published in 1512 in
Florence. He was published in 1582 in the Poetae Tres Elegantissimi (Paris), with
Joannes Secundus and
Michelle Marullo.
Sources differ considerably on his birth year, with some stating 1470,[2][3] others giving "c. 1480"[4][5] and another c. 1490.[6]
