Charles Trinkaus can be counted among the eminent intellectual and
cultural historians of the Renaissance. This new collection of his
articles brings together pieces published since 1982. The studies
are concerned with Italian Renaissance humanists and philosophers
who tended to affirm human capacities to shape earthly existence,
despite the traditional limitations proposed by some scholastics
and astrologers. Professor Trinkaus holds that, without abandoning
their Christian faith, or their acceptance of physical influences
from the cosmos, these writers, in their stress on human
capacities, were responding to the vigorous activism of their
contemporaries in all aspects of their existence. The final four
papers also provide a series of reflections on the modern
historiography of the Renaissance.
