These studies illustrate the different ways in which the
Renaissance made use of its classical heritage, and how a variety
of techniques were employed to transform the material that could be
derived from the ancient classics so that it could serve the social
and cultural purposes of Renaissance man. The scope of the volume
covers discussions of catalogues and editions of humanist works;
the humanist contribution to the art of discourse; humanism and
religion; humanism and political thought; and finally the
contribution of the humanists to the useful and fine arts. This
volume consists of papers delivered at the second conference on
Classical Influences held at King's College, Cambridge, in 1974.
This book should be of interest to specialists in classical
studies, Renaissance studies and the history of literature and
ideas, and specialists in French, German and Italian studies. The
last three articles will also interest art historians.
