Italian Humanist Latin

Italian Humanist Latin

Course Description: Using the celebrated collection of Humanist documents contained in 'Prosatori Latini del Quattrocento', this course will explore the writings of the Italian Humanists of the late 1300s and 1400s, examining the impact the rediscovery and idolisation of writers of the Classical period had on Humanism of the 15th century. The course is likely to read selections by Pius II, Giovanni Pontano, Ludovico Carbone, and Poggio Bracciolini, but is open to students' particular interests as well.
