David Marsh. Giannozzo Manetti
The Italian magistrate and scholar Giannozzo Manetti (1396–1459) was celebrated by his peers as one of the most significant intellectuals of his time. He belonged to the circle of major Renaissance humanists such as Leonardo Bruni, Poggio Bracciolini, Francesco Filelfo, and Lorenzo Valla. However, despite his contemporary reputation, and despite the long-lasting success of his treatise De dignitate et excellentia hominis [On the Dignity and Excel…

The Avignon Papacy-Contested
Petrarch and the Vision of Rome
Petrarch’s enthusiasm for the eternal city is balanced by a deep sense of perishability and death. Both visions – the Classical and the Augustinian – are fused into a double perspective in Petrarch’s description of Rome, transformed both by the harsh political conditions of the fourteenth century as well as the author’s personal experiences. This double perspective articulates an ambiguity most familiar to modern scholars of history: while Petrar…

Mapping these interpretations takes us through a rich and varied history. In the following, I will briefly comment on some central modern critics in the Italian and American traditions and discuss the hidden politics, intellectual ideologies and convictions inherent in their readings. Within this landscape, Giu…

Dante the Lyric and Ethical Poet

Petrarch, Mont Ventoux and the Modern Self
Petrarch's letter about the ascent of Mont Ventoux has in recent decades increasingly been read as an imitation of the conversion of St Augustine. However, few scholars have explored Petrarch's radical interpretation of St Augustine's theology and the profound critique the letter seems to propose of this Church Father's conversion ideology. My suggestion is that by virtue of the wanderer's apparently failed imitation of his model's conversion, th…
