Cotta, John
, an elegant modern Latin poet, was
born in a village near Verona in 1483, and gained considerable reputation by his talents. -He followed to the army
Bartholomew d‘Alviano, a Venetian general who had a
| regard for him; but he was taken by the French at the
battle of Ghiara d’Adda, in the year 1509, lost some of his
manuscripts, and did not regain his liberty for some time.
His patron sent him to pope Julius II. at Viterbo, where
he died in 1511, of a pestilential fever. Several of his
epigrams and orations are printed in the collection entitled
“Carmina quinque poetarum,” Venice, 1548, 8vo. 1
