Et Amicorum: Essays on Renaissance Humanism and Philosophy: in Honour of Jill Kraye: Brill's Studies in Intellectual History, cartea 273

Anthony Ossa-Richardson, Margaret Meserve

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 dec 2017

Jill Kraye, Professor Emerita of the Warburg Institute, is renowned internationally for her scholarship on Renaissance philosophy and humanism. This volume pays tribute to her achievements with essays by friends, colleagues, and doctoral students—all leading scholars—on subjects as diverse as her work. Articles on canonical figures such as Marsilio Ficino and Justus Lipsius mix with more quirky pieces on alphabetic play and the Hippocratic aphorisms. Many chapters seek to bridge the divide between humanism and philosophy, including David Lines's survey of the way fifteenth-century humanists actually defined philosophy and Brian Copenhaver's polemical essay against the concept of humanist philosophy. The volume includes a full bibliography of Professor Kraye's scholarly publications.

Contributors are: Michael Allen, Daniel Andersson, Lilian Armstrong, Stefan Bauer, Dorigen Caldwell, Brian Copenhaver, Martin Davies, Germana Ernst, Guido Giglioni, Robert Goulding, Anthony Grafton, James Hankins, J. Cornelia Linde, David Lines, Margaret Meserve, John Monfasani, Anthony Ossa-Richardson, Jan Papy, Michael Reeve, Alessandro Scafi, and William Stenhouse.

Recenzii

"This book contains many excellent essays that cannot all be discussed in the scope of a book review: instead this review could only offer tantalizing samples and an invitation to dine at a table at a feast worth attending."

Andrew L. Thomas, Salem College, in The Sixteenth Century Journal I.4, pp. 1220-1222

“important and timely […] this is a very rich volume of contributions whose center is represented by a thorough reconsideration of the question of humanism in relation to philosophy.”

Massimo Lollini, University of Oregon. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 72, No. 3 (Fall 2019), pp. 1113-1114.
