On the Most Ancient Wisdom of the Italians, originally published
in 1710, is widely regarded as Vico's most significant work after
the New Science and the Autobiography. Subtitled "The Book of
Metaphysics," it was one of three planned volumes of a larger work
that was never published, and it marks Vico's transition from
rhetorician to philosopher of historical knowledge.
This edition incorporates translations from the Italian of a
contemporary review and Vico's responses, published in 1711 and
1712. L. M. Palmer's translation helps make more accessible a
treatise of vital importance for an understanding of Vico's
epistemology, psychology, and philosophy of mathematics.
