CORRESPONDENCELORENZO VALLA
Translated by Brendan Cook
Lorenzo Valla (1406–1457) was the leading philologistof the first half of the fifteenth century, as well as aphilosopher, theologian, and translator. His extant Latinletters are fewer than those of many of his contempo-raries, since he never collected or consciously preservedthem. For that reason they afford a direct and unguard-ed window into the working life of the most passionate,difficult, and interesting of the Italian humanists. Theyshow him as a writer who continually worked andreworked his major contributions to dialectic andphilology, notably his masterpiece on the Elegances of theLatin Language, a central text of the Renaissance. Moreplentiful are the letters of others tohim, which place him at the center ofa humanist network that extendedfrom Venice to Naples. These letters,including one previously unpublished,are now edited for the first time along-side Valla’s own correspondence. Thetranslation is the first into any modernlanguage.

JACOPO ZABARELLA
Edited and translated by John P. McCaskey
Jacopo Zabarella’s two treatises On Methods and OnRegressus (1578) are among the most importantRenaissance discussions of how scientific knowledgeshould be acquired, arranged, and transmitted. Theybelong to a lively debate about the order in which sci-ences should be taught and the method to be followedin scientific demonstration that roiled the LateRenaissance world for decades. The influence of theseworks on Galileo’s scientific method and Descartes’s
famous Discourse on Method (1637)has long been debated. They are heretranslated into English for the firsttime, along with a new Latin textbased on the corrected 1586 edition.

NOTABLE MEN ANDWOMEN OF OUR TIMEPAOLO GIOVIO
Edited and translated by Kenneth Gouwens
Written in the aftermath of the cata-strophic sack of Rome in 1527, thehistorian Paolo Giovio’s dialogue pro-
vides an informed perspective on the event from an inti-mate friend of Pope Clement VII. The work is alsoremarkable for its discussions of literary style and themuch-debated question whether the vernacular couldrival or surpass Latin as a vehicle for literary expression.It discusses authors whom Giovio knew personally, suchas Ariosto, Castiglione, Machiavelli, Sannazaro, andVittoria Colonna. The dialogues also contain an exten-sive survey of Italian noblewomen, shedding new lighton their careers and cultural achievements.

POEMSMICHAEL MARULLUS
Translated by Charles Fantazzi
Michael Marullus (ca. 1453/4–1500),born in Greece, began life as a merce-nary soldier but became a prominentNeo-Latin poet and scholar whoworked in Florence and Naples.Among Marullus’s influences wereancient Greek texts such as theHomeric and Orphic hymns; theCorpus Hermeticum; the hymns ofProclus, Cleanthes, and Callimachus;and Julian the Apostate’s Hymn to theSun. Marullus was particularly impor-tant, however, as one of the firstRenaissance poets to imitate the works of Lucretius,and one witness reported that, after his death by drown-ing, a copy of the Roman poet’s works was found in hissaddlebag. Later poets imitated him in vernacular lovepoetry, especially Ronsard; he even appears as a shad-owy figure in the pages of George Eliot’s Romola, wherehe is depicted as a confirmed pagan. This edition con-tains Marullus’s complete Latin poetry. All of theseworks appear in English translation for the first time.

LORENZO VALLA
Edited and translated by Brian P. Copenhaver and Lodi Nauta
Lorenzo Valla (1407–1457) ranksamong the greatest scholars andthinkers of the Renaissance. DialecticalDisputations, translated here for the
first time into any modern language, is his principal con-tribution to the philosophy of language and logic. Withthis savage attack on the scholastic tradition ofAristotelian logic, Valla aimed to supersede it with anew logic based on the actual historical usage of classicalLatin and on a commonsense approach to semanticsand argument. Valla’s reformed dialectic became a mile-stone in the development of humanist logic and con-tains startling anticipations of modern theories ofsemantics and language.

GENEALOGY OF THE PAGAN GODSVolume 1: Books I–V
GIOVANNI BOCCACCIO
Edited and translated by Jon Solomon
Giovanni Boccaccio’s Genealogy of the Pagan Gods is anambitious work of humanistic scholarship whose goal isto plunder ancient and medieval literary sources so as tocreate a massive synthesis of Greek and Roman mythol-ogy. The work also contains a famous defense of thevalue of studying ancient pagan poetry in a Christianworld.
Much more than a mere compilation of pagan myths,the Genealogy incorporates hundreds of excerpts from
and comments on ancient poetry, illus-trative of the new spirit of philologicaland cultural inquiry emerging in theearly Renaissance. It is at once themost ambitious work of literary schol-arship of the early Renaissance and ademonstration to contemporaries ofthe moral and cultural value of study-ing ancient poetry. This is the first vol-ume of a projected three-volume set ofBoccaccio’s complete Genealogy.

SACRED PAINTING. MUSEUMFEDERICO BORROMEO
Edited and translated by Kenneth S. Rothwell, Jr.Introduction and notes by Pamela M. Jones
In De pictura sacra (Sacred Painting, 1624), FedericoBorromeo (1564–1631), Cardinal-Archbishop of Milanand founder of the Ambrosiana library, art collection,and academy, laid out the rules that artists should followwhen creating religious art. He touched on dozens oficonographical issues and in so doing drew on his deepknowledge not only of Church fathers, councils, andscripture but also of classical art and literature. InMusaeum (1625), Borromeo showed a more personal sideby walking the reader through the Ambrosiana and com-menting on specific works in his collection. This volumeoffers, for the first time, translations ofthe treatises directly into English aswell as freshly edited Latin texts, anintroduction, extensive notes, and anappendix on the Academy of Designthat was established in conjunctionwith the museum.

BOOK ON MUSICFLORENTIUS DE FAXOLIS
Edited and translated by Bonnie J. Blackburn and Leofranc Holford-Strevens
Between 1485 and 1492 CardinalAscanio Sforza was the recipient of amusic treatise composed for him by“Florentius Musicus” (Florentius de Faxolis), who hadserved him in Naples and Rome. Now in Milan, therichly illuminated small parchment codex bears witnessto the musical interests of the cardinal, himself an avidsinger. Florentius, whose treatise, found in no othersource, is edited here for the first time, evidently took thecardinal’s predilections into account, for the Book onMusic is unusual for its emphasis on “the praises, power,utility, necessity, and effect of music”: he devotes far morespace to citations from classical and medieval authorsthan is the norm, and his elevated style shows that heaspires to appear as a humanist and not merely a techni-cian. The editors, a Renaissance musicologist (BonnieBlackburn) and a classical scholar (Leofranc Holford-Strevens), have combined their disciplines to pay closeattention both to Florentius’s text and to his teachings.

THE HERMAPHRODITEANTONIO BECCADELLI
Edited and translated by Holt Parker
Antonio Beccadelli (1394–1471), known as Panormitafrom his native town of Palermo, was appointed courtpoet to Duke Filippo Maria Visconti (1429), wascrowned poet laureate by Emperor Sigismund (1432),and ended his days as panegyrist to King Alfonso V ofAragon and Naples, where he founded the first of theRenaissance Academies. The Hermaphrodite, his first work(1425–1426), dedicated to Cosimo de’ Medici, won himpraise and condemnation. Beccadelli was a pioneer inrevitalizing the Latin epigram for its powers of abuse andlouche eroticism. Its open celebration of vice, particularlysodomy, earned it public burnings, threats of excommu-
nication, banishment to the closed sec-tions of libraries, and a devoted follow-ing. Likened to a “precious jewel in adunghill,” The Hermaphrodite combinedthe comic realism of Italian popularverse with the language of Martial toexplore the underside of the earlyRenaissance.

ODESFRANCESCO FILELFO
Edited and translated by Diana Robin
Francesco Filelfo (1398–1481), one ofthe great scholar-poets of the Italian
Renaissance, was the principal humanist working inLombardy in the middle of the Quattrocento andserved as court poet to the Visconti and Sforza dukes of Milan. His long life saw him as busy with politics,diplomacy, and intrigue as with literature and scholar-ship, leaving him very often on the run from rival fac-tions—and even from hired assassins. The first Latinpoet of the Renaissance to explore the expressive poten-tial of Horatian meters, Filelfo adapted the traditions of Augustan literature to address personal and politicalconcerns in his own day. The Odes, completed in themid-1450s, constitute the first complete cycle ofHoratian odes since classical antiquity and are a majorliterary achievement. This volume is the first publicationof the Latin text since the fifteenth century and the firsttranslation into English.

REPUBLICS AND KINGDOMS COMPAREDAURELIO LIPPO BRANDOLINI
Edited and translated by James Hankins
Aurelio Lippo Brandolini’s Republics and KingdomsCompared is the most fascinating and least-known work of humanist political theory before Machiavelli. A Socratic dialogue set in the court of King MattiasCorvinus of Hungary (ca. 1490), the work depicts adebate between the king himself and a Florentine mer-chant at his court on the relative merits of republics andkingdoms. In effect a searing critique of Florentine civichumanism, the work discusses such issues as free tradeand the morality of commerce, the inequalities of wealthtypical of republics, the nature of freedom and justice,the reasons for the rise and fall ofempires, the causes of political corrup-tion, and the conditions necessary forthe flourishing of arts, letters, and cul-ture generally. This is the first criticaledition and the first translation intoany language.

LATIN POETRYJACOPO SANNAZARO
Translated by Michael C. J. Putnam
Jacopo Sannazaro (1456–1530), considered by some authorities thefinest Neo-Latin poet of the ItalianRenaissance, spent most of his career in Naples, where he was a member and ultimately the head of the Accademia Pontaniana. He is most famous for having written, in Italian, the first pastoral romance inEuropean literature, the Arcadia (1504). But after thisearly work, Sannazaro devoted himself entirely to Latinpoetry modeled on his beloved Vergil. In addition to hisepic The Virgin Birth (1526), which earned him the titleof “the Christian Vergil,” he also composed PiscatoryEclogues, an innovative adaption of the eclogue form, as well as elegies, epigrams, and a number of shorterworks. This volume contains the first complete Englishtranslation of all of Sannazaro’s poetry in Latin, accom-panied by extensive notes.

Translated by Mary P. Chatfield
Cristoforo Landino (1424–1498), one of the great scholar-poets of theRenaissance, is best known today forhis Platonizing commentaries onDante and Vergil. His most substan-tial work of poetry was his ThreeBooks on Xandra, written while still a young man. They consist primarilyof love poetry in Latin directed to hislady-love Alessandra, but they also
chronicle his life, friendships, literary studies, and thepatronage of his work by Piero de’ Medici. Inspiredequally by the ancient Roman love-elegy and byPetrarch’s Canzoniere, the poems illustrate the minglingof classical and vernacular traditions characteristic of theage of Lorenzo de’ Medici. Also included in this volumeis the Carmina Varia, a collection whose centerpiece is a group of elegies directed to the Venetian humanistBernardo Bembo. This edition contains the first translation of both works into English.

While serving a number of theRenaissance popes, he inaugurated an extraordinaryprogram of research into the history, institutions, cultural life, and physical remains of the ancient Romanempire. The Italia Illustrata (1453), which appears herefor the first time in English, is a topographical workdescribing Italy region by region. Its aim is to explorethe Roman roots of the Renaissance world. As such, it is the quintessential work of Renaissance antiquarian-
ism. This is the first edition of theLatin text since 1559.
“This is an extremely valuable editionand translation that serious studentsof the history of classical scholarship,the Renaissance, and Italian topogra-phy will want to have in theirlibraries.”—HARRY B. EVANS,

HUMANIST COMEDIESEdited and translated by Gary R. Grund
The five comedies included in thisvolume present a characteristic sampling of comic formas it was interpreted by some of the most importantLatin humanists of the Quattrocento. Pier PaoloVergerio’s Paulus, Philodoxeos fabula by Leon BattistaAlberti, Philogenia et Epiphebus by Ugolino Pisani,Chrysis by Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (later Pope Pius II), and Tommaso Medio’s Epirota span nearly the entire period and are a valuable gauge of its chang-ing literary tastes, tastes nourished by the ancient comicdrama of Plautus and Terence.
“Readers interested in the Renaissance, the receptionof Roman comedy, or the development of humanistLatin will find these plays fascinating.” —ANNE MAHONEY,

SILVAEANGELO POLIZIANO
Edited and translated by Charles Fantazzi
Angelo Poliziano (1454–1494) was one of the greatscholar-poets of the Renaissance and a leading figure in the circle of Lorenzo de’ Medici “il Magnifico” inFlorence. His “Silvae” are poetical introductions to hiscourses in literature at the University of Florence, writ-ten in Latin hexameters. They not only contain some of the finest Latin poetry of the Renaissance, but alsoafford unique insight into the poetical credo of a bril-liant scholar as he considers the works of his Greek and Latin predecessors as well as of his contemporarieswriting in Italian.
“At once expansive, elegiac, and exact, Fantazzi’s translation brings Poliziano to uswith affecting grace.” —WILLIAM J. KENNEDY,

INVECTIVESFRANCESCO PETRARCA
Edited and translated by David Marsh
Francesco Petrarca (1304–1374), one of the greatest of Italian poets, was also the leading spirit in the Renaissance movement to revive ancient Romanlanguage and literature. His four Invectives were intend-ed to revive the eloquence of the great Roman oratorCicero. The Invectives are directed against the culturalidols of the Middle Ages—against scholastic philoso-phy and medicine and the dominance of French culturein general. They defend the value of literary cultureagainst obscurantism and provide a clear statement of the values of Renaissance humanism. This volumeprovides a new critical edition of the Latin text of On His Own Ignorance based on thetwo autograph copies, and the firstEnglish translation of three of thefour invectives.

BIOGRAPHICAL WRITINGSGIANNOZZO MANETTI
Edited and translated by Stefano U. Baldassarri and Rolf Bagemihl
The Renaissance recovery of ancient biographical writers such as Plutarch, Suetonius, and Jerome led to a wave of imitations by Renaissance authors fromPetrarch to Machiavelli. The orator, diplomat, andstatesman Giannozzo Manetti (1396–1459), an expertin Greek and Hebrew as well as Latin, was among theleading humanist biographers of the Renaissance. Thiscollection brings together his famous biographies ofDante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, which helped establishthe canon of Italian literature, as well as his parallel lives of Socrates and Seneca, which remained the stan-
dard biographical sources for thosephilosophers throughout the earlymodern period.

MOMUSLEON BATTISTA ALBERTI
English translation by Sarah KnightLatin text edited by Virginia Brown andSarah Knight
Momus is the most ambitious literarycreation of Leon Battista Alberti, thefamous humanist-scientist-artist and“universal man” of the ItalianRenaissance. In this dark comedy,written around 1450, Alberti charts
the lively fortunes of his anti-hero Momus, theunscrupulous and vitriolic god of criticism. This editionprovides a new Latin text, the first to be based on thetwo earliest manuscripts, both corrected by Alberti him-self, and includes the first full translation into English.
“The sparkling translation, by Sarah Knight, frequent-ly substitutes English colloquialisms for a more formaldiction…The facing page’s original text allows readersequipped with various levels of Latin—rusty or merelylightly oxidized—to follow the great success of thetranslator, who has produced a version at once faithfuland spirited.” —JAMES WOOD, NEW REPUBLIC

“The Fruit of Liberty provocatively reinterprets the significance of Florentine politicalculture in the late Renaissance. By examining the apparently sharp contrast betweenrepublican and ducal Florence, Baker reveals that the Florentine experience helps toexplain the triumph of post-Renaissance absolutism just as much as it contributed tothe persistence of republican language and traditions.”—MARK JURDJEVIC, GLENDON COLLEGE, YORK UNIVERSITY

ORPHEUS IN THE MARKETPLACEJacopo Peri and the Economy of Late Renaissance Florence
TIM CARTER AND RICHARD A. GOLDTHWAITE
The Florentine musician Jacopo Peri (1561–1633) is known as the composer of the firstoperas—they include the earliest to survive complete, Euridice (1600), in which Peri sangthe role of Orpheus. The recent discovery of a large number of private account booksbelonging to him and his family allows for a greater exploration of Peri’s professional andpersonal life. Richard Goldthwaite, an economic historian, and Tim Carter, a musicologist,have done much more, however, than write a biography: their investigation exposes theremarkable value of such financial documents as a primary source for an entire period.
This record of Peri’s wide-ranging investments and activities in the marketplace enablesthe first detailed account of the Florentine economy in the late sixteenth and early seven-teenth centuries, and also opens a completely new perspective on one of Europe’s princi-pal centers of capitalism. These records allow a reevaluation of Peri the singer and com-poser that elucidates the cultural life of a major artistic center even in changing times, pro-viding a quite different view of what it meant to be a musician in late Renaissance Italy.

“Meticulous and riveting, Reviving the Eternal City offers a multifaceted history of the Roman Curia under MartinV and Eugenius IV. Through incisive readings of sources as diverse as a vintner’s diary, the letters of established(and struggling) humanists, papal bulls and Filarete’s bronze doors, McCahill proves that Rome’s renewal beganlong before the first ‘Renaissance’ pope donned the tiara.”—SARAH ROSS, BOSTON COLLEGE
