Cyriac of Ancona (1391-1452) was among the first to study the
physical remains of the ancient world in person and for that reason
is sometimes regarded as the father of classical archaeology. This
volume contains a life of Cyriac to the year 1435 by his friend
Francesco Scalamonti, which relies on Cyriac's own records, along
with several letters to and from Cyriac, and other texts
illustrating his early life. These include Cyriac's letter-treatise
in praise of Julius Caesar, countering the attacks on the founder
of the Roman Empire made by Renaissance republicans. A number of
the texts included have been freshly edited and translated for the
first time in this volume.
