The cycle of disciplines now known as the humanities emerged in
their modern form during the Italian Renaissance as the result of
an educational movement begun by humanist teachers, writers, and
scholars of the early Quattrocento. The movement argued for the
usefulness of classical literature as an instrument for training
young men and women, not only in the arts of language and
eloquence, but also in civic virtue and practical wisdom. This
volume contains four of the most important theoretical statements
that emerged from the early humanists’ efforts to reform medieval
education. The four texts are Pier Paolo Vergerio, “The Character
and Studies Befitting a Free-Born Youth”; Leonardo Bruni, “The
Study of Literature”; Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (Pope Pius II),
“The Education of Boys”; and Battista Guarino, “A Program of
Teaching and Learning.” The Vergerio and Guarino texts appear in
English for the first time.
