Coluccio Salutati (1332 1406) was chancellor of the Florentine
Republic (1375 1406) and the leader of the humanist movement in
Italy in the generation after Petrarch and Boccaccio. As such, he
was among the first humanists to apply his Classical learning to
political theory and his rhetorical skills to the defense of
republican liberty. This volume contains a new English version of
Salutati s important treatise "On Tyranny," Antonio Loschi s
"Invective against the Florentines," which provoked Salutati s long
"Reply to a Slanderous Detractor," and a selection of Salutati s
state letters written for the Florentine Republic. Most of the
texts are here critically edited and translated into English for
the first time."
On the World and Religious Life "(c. 1381) is the first surviving
treatise of Coluccio Salutati (1332-1406), chancellor of the
Florentine Republic (1375-1406) and the leader of the humanist
movement in Italy in the generation after Petrarch and Boccaccio.
The work was written for a lawyer who had left secular life to
enter the Camaldulensian monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli,
located in the heart of Florence. The new monk prevailed on
Salutati to write a treatise encouraging him to persevere in the
religious life. His request led to this wide-ranging reflection on
humanity's misuse of God's creation and the need to orient human
life in accordance with a proper hierarchy of values. This work is
here translated into English for the first time.
