POLITICAL WRITINGSCOLUCCIO SALUTATI

Edited by Stefano U. BaldassarriTranslated by Rolf Bagemihl

Coluccio Salutati (1332–1406) was chancellor of the Florentine Republic (1375–1406) and theleader of the humanist movement in Italy in thegeneration after Petrarch and Boccaccio. As such,he was among the first humanists to apply his classical learning to political theory and hisrhetorical skills to the defense of republican liberty. This volume contains a newEnglish version of Salutati’s impor-tant treatise On Tyranny, AntonioLoschi’s Invective against the Floren-tines, which provoked Salutati’s longReply to a Slanderous Detractor, and aselection of Salutati’s state letterswritten for the Florentine Republic.Most of the texts are here criticallyedited and translated into Englishfor the first time.

ON THE WORLD ANDRELIGIOUS LIFECOLUCCIO SALUTATI

Translated by Tina MarshallIntroduction by Ronald G. Witt

On the World and Religious Life (c. 1381) is the firstsurviving treatise of Coluccio Salutati (1332–1406),chancellor of the Florentine Republic (1375–1406)and the leader of the humanist movement in Italyin the generation after Petrarch and Boccaccio. Thework was written for a lawyer who had left secularlife to enter the Camaldulensian monastery ofSanta Maria degli Angeli, located in the heart ofFlorence. The new monk prevailed on Salutati towrite a treatise encouraging him to persevere in thereligious life. His request led to this wide-rangingreflection on humanity’s misuse of God’s creationand the need to orient human life in accordancewith a proper hierarchy of values. This work is here translated into English for the first time.

ON MARRIED LOVE. ERIDANUSGIOVANNI GIOVIANO PONTANO

Translated by Luke Roman

Giovanni Pontano (1429–1503), whose academicname was Gioviano, was one of the great scholar-poets of the Renaissance as well as a leading states-man who served as prime minister to the Kings ofAragon and southern Italy. The dominant literaryfigure of quattrocento Naples, Pontano producedliterary works in several genres and was the leaderof the Neapolitan academy. Among his large poetic

output are the two brilliantly origi-nal poetical cycles that comprisethe present volume. On MarriedLove stakes out new ground in theWestern tradition as the first sus-tained exploration of married lovein first-person poetry. In Eridanus,which celebrates the poet’s love fora mistress, Pontano combines thefamiliar motifs of courtly love withthe allusive matrix of classical elegyand his own distinctive vision.Both works are here translated into English for the first time.

THE BATTLE OF LEPANTOEdited and translated by Elizabeth R. Wright, Sarah Spence, and Andrew Lemons

The defeat of the Ottomans by the Holy Leaguefleet at the Battle of Lepanto (1571) was among the most celebrated international events of the sixteenth century. This volume anthologizes thework of twenty-two poets from diverse social andgeographical backgrounds who composed Latin poetry, often modeled on Vergil and other Romanpoets, in response to the news of the battle, thelargest Mediterranean naval encounter since antiquity. Among the poems included is the two-book Austrias Carmen by the remarkable JuanLatino, a black African former slave who became a professor of Latin in Granada. The poems, including two previously unpublished, are heretranslated into English for the first time, along with fresh editions of the Latin texts.

A GREAT AND WRETCHED CITYPromise and Failure in Machiavelli’s Florentine Political Thought

MARK JURDJEVIC

“Mark Jurdjevic’s A Great and Wretched City is a wonderful contribution toMachiavelli studies. It gives Machiavelli’s ‘Florentine writings’ their properdue, and appropriately tempers the ill-considered and much too prevalentoveremphasis on Machiavelli’s admiration for Rome. The book is astound-ingly erudite, penetrating analytically, and generally written with a confidentelegance that makes it an unusually accessible piece of high-end scholarship.”—JOHN P.

A MATTRESS MAKER'S DAUGHTERThe Renaissance Romance of Don Giovanni de’ Medici and Livia Vernazza

BRENDAN DOOLEY

“once again, Brendan dooley demonstrates his gift for showing how a minor,forgotten episode can illuminate processes of social and cultural change.”—PETER BURKE, EMMANUEL COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY

“This exciting story of love flouting social convention becomes, in dooley’smeticulously researched and vividly rendered reconstruction, a window onto a wide swath of social history in early modern Genoa, venice, and Florence—from the difficult life of a family of mattress makers, to the luxury, wars, suspi-cious deaths, and legal skullduggery which emanated from the Medici court inthe age of Galileo.”—ANN BLAIR, HARVARD UNIVERSITY

THE MEDICEAN SUCCESSIONMonarchy and Sacral Politics in Duke Cosimo dei Medici’s Florence

GREGORY MURRY

“how did Grand duke cosimo dei Medici convince the deeply republican Florentines to accept the alienconcept of a sacred prince? That is the difficult question Murry answers in his fine analysis of Mediceancourt culture and ritual. cosimo had powerful dragons to slay, including Machiavelli’s theorized republi-can virtues and savonarola’s moral reform movement. Murry’s impressive investigations demonstratehow cosimo adapted local traditions of terrestrial divinity to transform himself into a divine prince.”—EDWARD MUIR, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

READING LUCRETIUS IN THE RENAISSANCEADA PALMER

After its rediscovery in 1417, Lucretius’s Epicurean didactic poem De RerumNatura threatened to supply radicals and atheists with the one weapon unbeliefhad lacked in the Middle Ages: good answers. Ada Palmer explores how Renais-sance readers, such as Machiavelli, Pomponio Leto, and Montaigne, actually in-gested and disseminated Lucretius, and the ways in which this process ofreading transformed modern thought. She uncovers humanist methods for rec-onciling Christian and pagan philosophy, and shows how ideas of emergentorder and natural selection, so critical to our current thinking, became embed-ded in Europe’s intellectual landscape before the seventeenth century.

BERNARD BERENSONFORMATION AND HERITAGE

EDITED BY JOSEPH CONNORS AND LOUIS A. WALDMAN

The authors in this collection of essaysexplore the intellectual world in which Berenson was formed and to which hecontributed.
