The Ancient Greek Sophists in Emanuele Tesauro’s Il cannocchiale aristotelico (1670)
Emanuele Tesauro’s Il cannocchiale aristotelico (The Spyglass of Aristotle) is widely considered a masterpiece of the Baroque, mainly because of his theory of metaphor as a cognitive tool. But this work is much more than that. Tesauro presents his volume as the ultimate interpretation of Aristotle’s rhetorical art, which is clearly not the case. Indeed, his work is a polycentric discourse on a revolutionary theory of rhetoric that goes beyond any…
Materie piacevolissime da leggere e utili da essequire’
This contribution examines the changes in the type and sequence of paratexts at the beginning of Leonardo Fioravanti’s Capricci medicinali from the first edition (1561) to the 1680 edition. The aim of this paper is to study the building of a selfimage and promotion of Fioravanti and his medicine via the paratextual letters. This was the first and most published of Fioravanti’s works which spread in Venice, one of the most vital book markets of si…
Gazing at the Venetian hub from a paratextual lens
This introductory article presents the framework and contributions of the special issue Paratexts, Dissemination, and Book Market in Early Modern Venice (1500‐1650). This volume aims to shed a new light on the publishing activity of poligrafi and other figures operating in Venice and its area of cultural influence. In this context, the use of paratexts simultaneously serves to disseminate knowledge, portray self‐fashioning strategies, and respond…
Sperone Speroni and the Debate over Sophistry in the Italian Renaissance
In Sperone Speroni and the Debate over Sophistry in the Italian Renaissance Teodoro Katinis mines a number of little or unstudied primary sources and offers the first book on the rebirth of ancient sophists in the Italian literature of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, from Leonardo Bruni to Jacopo Mazzoni, with a focus on the Italian writer and philosopher Sperone Speroni (1500-1588). Katinis convincingly argues that Speroni is a unique cas…

A Humanist Confronts the Plague
A Humanist Confronts the Plague:Ficino's Consilio contro la Pestilentia Teodoro Katinis I. In this paper I intend to discuss a text by Marsilio Ficino that is still little known and make a contribution to the study of its sources. The text in question is the Consilio contro la Pestilentia, composed in the Florentine tongue between 1478 and 1479.1 The plague had been endemic in Europe from the middle of the fourteenth century and in the late 1470s…
