Beskrivning

Now combined into one volume.In this massive, meticulously researched work Trinkaus makes a major contribution to our understanding of the Italian humanists and the Christian Renaissance in Italy. . . . The author argues persuasively that the Italian humanists drew their inspiration more from the church fathers than from the pagan ancients . . . the most comprehensive and most important study of Italian humanism to appear in English. It is a mine of information, offering, among other things, detailed analyses of texts which have been ignored even by Italian scholars.

". . . an important and thoughtful book. It is . . . a book to return to again and again." —Times Literary Supplement"Histories of spirituality have given scant attention to lay spirituality and lay theologizing in centuries previous to the twentieth. Trinkaus provides much material toward redressing the balance as regards Renaissance Italy." —Review for Religious"Charles Trinkhaus's In Our Image and Likeness set the study of early Italian humanism upon a new course by stressing its religious inspiration. This classic work remains as timely today as when it was first published. Students in the field will be grateful to have it available again--at last." —Louis Dupré, Yale UniversityA substantial contribution to the continuing debate on the meaning and significance, even the very existence, of the Renaissance. . . . [T]his study does present an original, challenging interpretation of Renaissance thought, stemming from Trinkaus' complete command of Classical, Patristic, Scholastic, and Renaissance sources, and his familiarity with modern scholarly literature.
