Böcker i Rsart: Renaissance Society of America Reprint Text Series-serien

This work presents important sources - many previously unpublished in any language, and almost none previously available in English - for the history of the city-state of Venice from its zenith to its decline.

Four short Latin treatises published between 1400 and 1460 define the humanist idea of education and form the heart of a book that has remained for almost seventy years the fundamental study of early Renaissance educational theory and practice.

Offers a broad sampling of humanist work by educators, statesmen, philosophers, churchmen and courtiers translated into English.
