The success of the historiography of Humanism is one of the central
phenomena in the history of scholarship in the Early Modern Age,
but the reasons for this have to date never been satisfactorily
explained. The authors of these conference proceedings search for
answers by approaching the historical writings from different
perspectives. They discuss both the semantics and the literary
methods of the texts, as well as the social positions of the
authors. Closely related to both themes is the question of the
historical spaces dealt with in the works, in which the humanists
show the way as far as the New World.
Inscriptions, coins, literary models and classical Latin are
elements of ancient culture to which recourse was made in the
Renaissance. To what extent did they, in the process, shape
humanistic historiography? The authors discuss the question by
investigating the consequences that using a particular language
have on historical writings, and analyse how historiographical
models were adapted to the contemporary environment. Finally, they
ask how the humanistsa (TM) enthusiasm for ancient remains
manifested itself in historiography.
