Product Description:
Edmund Fryde provides a general account of the attempt to revive and surpass the standards of classical historiography and charts its progress. The career of Politian, the librarian of Lorenzo the Magnificent, illustrates the advance in scholarship during the fifteenth century. Using new evidence from the Vatican Library the author demonstrates that Lorenzo's library can be largely reconstructed and that a wealth of manuscripts was already available in his time.
PREFACE
The studies included in this volume arise out of research carried out
during the past twelve years and four out of seven articles have never
been published before. The three articles reprinted here are published in
their original form, except for a brief appendix added to article 2.
These seven papers arise out of three of my main interests. One is
the study of Lorenzo de’ Medici and of the scholars connected with
him, especially Politian. Renaissance historiography is the second and,
closely connected with it, is my concern with the story of the
preservation of the Greek and Latin classics and their recovery during
the Renaissance.
The late Dr. Henry Kryszek first introduced me to Italy and this
volume is dedicated to his memory. I have received generous help from
a large number of friends and scholars, some of which is acknowledged
in particular articles. I owe special thanks to Professor A.G. Dickens for
making this publication possible and to Professor Arnaldo Momigliano
and Professor N. Rubinstein for their help and encouragement over
many years. I have received invaluable assistance from Miss A. de la
Mare of the Bodleian Library, Dr. C. Ligota of the Warburg Institute in
London and my friends, Llinos Davies and D. Huws, of the National
Library of Wales at Aberystwyth.
