On the World and Religious Life "(c. 1381) is the first surviving
treatise of Coluccio Salutati (1332-1406), chancellor of the
Florentine Republic (1375-1406) and the leader of the humanist
movement in Italy in the generation after Petrarch and Boccaccio.
The work was written for a lawyer who had left secular life to
enter the Camaldulensian monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli,
located in the heart of Florence. The new monk prevailed on
Salutati to write a treatise encouraging him to persevere in the
religious life. His request led to this wide-ranging reflection on
humanity's misuse of God's creation and the need to orient human
life in accordance with a proper hierarchy of values. This work is
here translated into English for the first time.
