Compared to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance is brief--little more
than two centuries, extending roughly from the mid-fourteenth
century to the end of the sixteenth century--and largely confined
to a few Italian city states. Nevertheless, the epoch marked a
great cultural shift in sensibilities, the dawn of a new age in
which classical Greek and Roman values were "reborn" and human
values in all fields, from the arts to civic life, were reaffirmed.
With this volume, Eugenio Garin, a leading Renaissance scholar, has
gathered the work of an international team of scholars into an
accessible account of the people who animated this decisive moment
in the genesis of the modern mind. We are offered a broad spectrum
of figures, major and minor, as they lived their lives: the prince
and the military commander, the cardinal and the courtier, the
artist and the philosopher, the merchant and the banker, the
voyager, and women of all classes. With its concentration on the
concrete, the specific, even the anecdotal, the volume offers a
wealth of new perspectives and ideas for study.
