Brian P. Copenhaver is Professor of History and Philosophy and Provost at UCLA. He is the coauthor of Renaissance Philosophy and editor and translator of Hermetica.

Brian Copenhaver's edition and translation of the first three books of the De inventoribus rerum (1499) of the humanist Polydore Vergil is especially useful because of its copious annotations...Copenhaver's translation helps in reminding us that most Renaissance writers were bricoleurs rather than scholars, and compendia like that of Polydore Vergil most certainly had a greater currency in Renaissance culture than lessreadable works such as Perotti's Cornucopiae or Guillaume Budi's De asse et partibus.
