This study charts the continuing influence of medieval scholastic
thought in Renaissance civilization. In the three essays, Paul
Oskar Kristellar illustrates the way medieval ideas and issues
remained active in Renaissance philosophy, theology, literature and
in education, both secular and religious. In his first essay,
Kristeller explains the conflicts in various Renaissance
literatures - between rigorous scholastic writings and eloquent
humanist ones, between texts written in Latin and those in the
vernacular - by appealing to a notion of literary genre which
aligns different types of text with distinct audiences. The second
essay considers the influence of St Thomas Aquinas during the
Italian Renaissance, showing that he was widely read and respected
by major humanists, and contributed to the debates over the
distinction between philosophy and theology and the relative
importance of the intellect and the will. The final essay suggests
that monks and friars play a more important role in Renaissance
thought than is usually realized. They made monastic libraries
available to humanist scholars, and actively engaged in the
intellectual disputes of their time.
