Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Pascasius Justus Turcq was born in the Flemish town of Eeklo. As a young man, he travelled through Spain before devoting himself to the study of philosophy and medicine in Italy. On gaining his doctorate, he returned north and settled in Bergen-op-Zoom, where he worked as a physician and eventually became the city's mayor. He attended to William the Silent as one of the physicians who worked to save the Prince's life after the assassination attempt of 1582. Alongside tales of gambling princes and perceptive accounts of the mental suffering experienced by problem gamblers, Pascasius' De alea is remarkable for its singular insights into 16th-century medical science. Basing himself on the authority of the ancient, late-antique and mediaeval traditions, Pascasius first fuses discrete theoretical systems into an innovative framework, allowing him to propose a novel description of compulsive gambling as a psychological disorder. Secondly, Pascasius articulates a series of pioneering cures. He describes this therapy in cognitive terms reminiscent of approaches to non-substance addiction in use today. On Gambling was routinely referenced in scholarship on gambling into the 18th century before disappearing almost entirely from view. Newly available here, with a critical Latin text and English translation, On Gambling epitomises the creative potential of 16th-century medical humanism.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Henri II Estienne (1531-98) was the most outstanding member of his family's long-lived publishing dynasty. He continued the work of his father, Robert, by publishing many unedited Greek texts and completing the Thesaurus linguae Graecae (1572), an expensive venture from which his business never fully recovered. His versatility - as publisher, scholar, corrector, lexicographer and poet - can be seen in the paratextual material in his many editions, and in his own original works. This anthology presents a sample from Henri Estienne's writings across his career and from different genres. These range from letters, to poetry, to essays, to his Encomium of the Frankfurt Fair. They reveal him as a remarkable scholar with an astonishing grasp of Latin and Greek literature, while highlighting also his problems both as a publisher and as a scholar. Estienne's elaborate essays on the ancient Greek historians Xenophon and Herodotus use ancient examples to support contemporary arguments. His verses preserve a strong sense of the life of a scholar turned businessman, both at work and at play. In remarkably fluid Latin, Estienne reveals in these writings his aspiration to be worthy of his father's legacy, his affection for family and friends, his humour, and his gripes with other scholars and publishers.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459) was a pioneer of Quattrocento humanism. He rediscovered many manuscripts of lost Latin classics in libraries north of the Alps, yet spent most of his career as apostolic secretary at the Curia, before returning to Florence as chancellor. His numerous writings document the growth and concerns of the humanist movement and provide an extremely valuable insider perspective on the political and ecclesiastical affairs of his day. Poggio was present at the Church Council of Constance, where in 1417 he delivered a funeral oration for Cardinal Francesco Zabarella. Later in his life, Poggio revisited the genre to write fictitious orations eulogising five of his close friends. The numerous extant manuscripts of these texts demonstrate the enduring appeal of Poggio's obituary rhetoric, which contributed much to the codification of the genre. The eulogies set forth the characters and careers of six luminaries of the early Quattrocento. Three are intimately connected with the humanist movement in Florence: the scholar and chancellor Leonardo Bruni, the reclusive intellectual arbiter Niccolo Niccoli, and Lorenzo de' Medici the Elder, the right hand of his brother Cosimo, who established the Medici hegemony. The other two lamented friends, Cardinals Niccolo Albergati and Giuliano Cesarini, represent, just like Zabarella, Poggio's ideals for Church leadership.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Marko Marulic was born in 1450 in Split, at that time part of the Venetian empire, where he was first schooled in the Liberal Arts. He compiled a collection of excerpts from classical authors, the Bible, and early Christian writers, and earned fame with his Instruction on How to Lead a Virtuous Life Based on the Examples of the Saints. His epic poem in Croatian about the Old Testament heroine Judith (1501, first published in 1521) makes him the Father of Croatian literature. He wrote mostly in Latin, and both his prose and his verse are steeped in the tradition of Christian humanism. Writing until his last days, Marulic died in 1524. The Davidiad is Marulic's ultimate masterpiece, written between 1510 and 1517. It tells the biblical story of King David in elegant Latin hexameters resounding with the echoes of Vergil, Ovid, early Christian poets, and contemporary humanists. It was never published during his lifetime, and was considered lost for centuries. The poem's unique autograph manuscript resurfaced in the Biblioteca Nazionale of Turin a century ago, having survived the famous 1904 fire that destroyed many of the library's manuscripts. This volume contains a new readable Latin edition and the first ever complete English translation - in unrhymed iambic pentameter - of the Davidiad, along with the Tropological Commentary which Marulic himself wrote about his epic story of David.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Famed for his ground-breaking philological, philosophical, and antiquarian writings, the Brabant humanist Justus Lipsius (1547-1606) was one of the most renowned classical scholars of the sixteenth century. In this volume, Marijke Crab and Ide Francois bring together the seminal contributions to Lipsius's life and scholarship by Jeanine De Landtsheer (1954-2021), who came to be known as one of the greatest Lipsius specialists of her generation. In Pursuit of the Muses considers Lipsius from two complementary angles. The first half presents De Landtsheer's evocative life of the famous humanist, based on her unrivalled knowledge of his correspondence. Originally published in Dutch, it appears here in English translation for the first time. The second half presents a selection of eight articles by De Landtsheer that together chart a way through Lipsius's scholarship. This twofold approach offers the reader a valuable insight into Lipsius's life and work, creating an indispensable reference guide not only to Lipsius himself, but also to the wider humanist world of letters.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Basinio da Parma (1425-57) stands out as one of the most distinguished intellectuals at the court of Sigismondo Malatesta (1417-68). Celebrated for his elegant Latin verse and exceptional erudition, Basinio was not only a sophisticated writer of elegiac, epic, and didactic poetry, but also a passionate advocate for Greek language and literature in Renaissance Rimini. His work embodies the humanist ideals of his age and became a crucial element of Malatesta's policies. As a cornerstone of Sigismondo's courtly propaganda, Basinio's poetry left an enduring mark on the artistic and literary life of fifteenth-century Italy. L'amore, le armi, le stelle contains essays by leading scholars across the fields of literature, philology, and art history to shed new light on Basinio's legacy and the vibrant world of the Malatesta court. Reflecting the renewed scholarly attention to this pivotal figure and his network, the present volume offers a deeper understanding of the richness and complexity of one of the Italian Renaissance's most fascinating cultural milieus.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Augustine and the Humanists investigates the reception of Augustine's De civitate Dei in Italian humanism during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In response to the urgent call for a more extensive and detailed investigation of the reception of Augustine's works and thought in the Western world, numerous scholars have addressed the topic over the last decades. However, one of Augustine's major works, De civitate Dei, has received remarkably little attention. In a series of case studies by renowned specialists of Italian humanism, this volume now analyzes the various strategies that were employed in reading and interpreting the City of God at the dawn of the modern age. Augustine and the Humanists focuses on the reception of the text in the work of sixteen early modern writers and thinkers who played a crucial role in the era between Petrarch and Poliziano. The present volume thus makes a significant and innovative contribution both to Augustinian studies and to our knowledge of early modern intellectual history.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In late-Trecento Florence, the cradle of the Italian Renaissance, humanist and chancellor Coluccio Salutati found himself face to face with the "holy spirit" that was, to him, the influence of Augustine's towering City of God - the Church Father's masterly synthesis of late antique secular and religious thinking. Through an analysis of contextual elements and a close reading of Salutati's major literary works, Sam Urlings brings to light the unexplored yet profoundly significant intertextual encounter that shaped Florentine thinking on the culpability of Lucretia, the active and contemplative life, divine foreknowledge, the nature of government, and the theological power of poetry. In doing so, Coluccio Salutati and Augustine's City of God challenges previously held assumptions regarding Renaissance "Augustinianism" on the one hand, and the chancellor's civically-engaged thinking on the other, proposing a new, synthetic vision that allows for Salutati to illuminate and defend his faith while engaging intensely with the pressing political issues of his time.
