Although the immense importance for the Renaissance of Greek
emigres to fifteenth-century Italy has long been recognized, much
basic research on the phenomenon remains to be done. This new
volume by John Monfasani gathers together fourteen studies filling
in some of the gaps in our knowledge. The philosophers George
Gemistus Pletho and George Amiroutzes, the great churchman Cardinal
Bessarion, and the famous humanists George of Trebizond and
Theodore Gaza are the subjects of some of the articles. Other
articles treat the emigres as a group within the wider frame of
contemporary issues, such as humanism, the theological debate
between the Orthodox and Roman Catholics, and the process of
translating Greek texts into Latin. Furthermore, some notable Latin
figures also enter into several of the articles in a detailed way,
specifically, Nicholas of Cusa, NiccolA(2) Perotti, and Pietro
Balbi.
