Beskrivning
The beginning of the Greek revival in the West is generally attributed to the teaching of the Byzantine scholar Manuel Chrysoloras in Florence between 1397 and 1400. Causes, aspects, and consequences of this important cultural phenomenon still need to be analyzed in depth. The essays collected in this volume examine the development of the study of Greek from the fifteenth to the early sixteenth century, reconstructing its spread and impact on early modern literatures, philosophy, and visual arts. An analysis of the methods and tools used to teach and learn Greek sheds light on the complex cultural relationships between Byzantium and the West and enlarges the traditional picture of the Greek revival in early modern Europe.Contributors are: Lilia Campana, Federica Ciccolella, Mariarosa Cortesi, Francesco G. Giannachi, Fevronia Nousia, Kalle Lundahl, Erika Nuti, Denis Robichaud, Antonio Rollo, Luigi Silvano, David Speranzi, and Paola Tomé.

“For anyone interested in the teaching of Greek in Renaissance Italy, this volume offers a great deal of good new scholarship.” - Paul F. Grendler, University of Toronto, emeritus, in: Renaissance Quarterly, 71:2 (Summer 2018), pp. 714-715“L’esplorazione dei manoscritti prodotti e circolanti in tale cerchia, attualmente conservati in massima parte nel fondo Barocci della Bodleian Library, consente a C. di verificare, tra l’altro, come la pratica didattica del greco in ambito cretese, per quanto aperta alla ricezione di alcune delle novità emerse in Occidente, persistesse nell’alveo della tradizione grammaticale bizantina. Merita, infine, una menzione la bibliografia assai abbondante ed aggiornata raccolta a conclusione del volume, che non mancherà di rappresentare un validissimo sussidio per le ricerche future.” - Marco Barbero, in: Medioevo greco 18 (2018)
