This book contains twenty essays on Italian Renaissance humanism, universities, and Jesuit education by one of its most distinguished living historians, Paul. F. Grendler. The first section of the book opens with defining Renaissance humanism, followed by explorations of biblical humanism and humanistic education in Venice. It concludes with essays on two pioneering historians of humanism, Georg Voigt and Paul Oskar Kristeller. The middle section discusses Italian universities, the sports played by university students, a famous law professor, and the controversy over the immortality of the soul. The last section analyzes Jesuit education: the culture of the Jesuit teacher, the philosophy curriculum, attitudes toward Erasmus and Juan Luis Vives, and the education of a cardinal.This volume collects Paul Grendler's most recent research (published and unpublished), offering to the reader a broad fresco on a complex and crucial age in the history of education.

Recensioner i media

"As in all Professor Grendler’s work his essays are a model of lucidity and thorough research." - Alastair Hamilton, The Warburg Institute, London, in: Church History and Religious Culture, Vol. 103, No. 1 (2023), pp. 108–110"Twenty chapters in this large volume were produced between 2006 and 2019 by one of the most accomplished scholars in the field of Renaissance history. Their erudition, precision, and balanced interpretive analysis, which never stray from the foundations of meticulous archival and historiographical research, make this a treasure trove for scholars who wish to get to know its subjects, revise their knowledge of them, or—if starting out in this field—meet Grendler's work for the first time. Whatever the reader’s perspective, there is much to gain from this volume." - Camilla Russell, Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu, Italy / University of Newcastle, Australia, in: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 77, No. 2 (Summer 2024), pp. 679–681
