Roman and German Humanism, 1450-1550 by D' & John F. Amico & Paul F. Grendler
A collection of articles on Renaissance humanism by the late historian John D'Amico. The studies illustrate how the humanists adapted a common intellectual tradition to varied civic, political and religious circumstances, but the majority deal with Roman humanism during the High Renaissance.Renaissance humanism is the subject of this collection of articles by the historian John D'Amico, who died suddenly in 1987, at the age of 40. Between them the studies illustrate how the humanists adapted a common intellectual tradition to varied civic, political and religious circumstances, but the majority deal with Roman humanism during the High Renaissance. The topics covered include religious reform, the varieties of Latin prose used by Roman humanists, and works of a key figure among them, Paolo Cortesi, and his attack on astrology. The second group of studies turns to German humanism, and especially the editorial efforts of Beatus Rhenanus, the major northern European textual critic of his time. The final item, hitherto unpublished, analyzes how Ulrich von Hutten, Beatus Rhenanus and others discovered and edited texts on medieval German history which could be used to attack the papacy. |
