This is the first biography of one of the outstanding humanists of
the fifteenth-century Renaissance. Benedetto Accolti's interests
ranged from rhetoric, humanism and Italian poetry to Roman law,
from historical thought and medieval antiquarianism to the crusades
and church history, and his work as a scholar, author and historian
is placed in a wide context stretching from antiquity to the
eighteenth century. The intellectual, political and economic milieu
of Accolti's native city of Arezzo, neglected in modern
scholarship, is explored, and the importance of Accolti's career as
chancellor of Florence, his role in bringing the new learning to
the chancery and his work as an administrative reformer are
recognized for the first time. Florence's response to the Turkish
menace and contribution to papal crusading efforts are
reinterpreted, and new information regarding Accolti's connections
with leading Florentine patricians is brought to light.
