Poema épico que continúa el Orlando enamorado de Matteo Maria Boiardo. A través de una poesía muy cuidada, va presentando una gran cantidad de personajes, algunos históricos (como por ejemplo, Carlomagno) y otros ficticios o míticos (algunos dioses griegos y romanos). El tema central son las luchas entre moros y cristianos, y a través de las distintas batallas se van presentando los personajes y la trama amorosa, centrada en Angélica y Orlando.
