This lovely, oversize (9.25x12.25") volume serves as the catalog for a major exhibition at the Library of Congress that presents a selection of the Vatican Library's magnificent treasures. Distinguished scholars discuss the Library's holdings and the historical circumstances of its growth, and examine subjects ranging from Renaissance humanism to Church relations with China and the Islamic world, to the status of medicine and the life sciences in antiquity and during the Renaissance. Their essays are supported by a lavish display of maps, books, prints, and other examples of the Library's collection. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 4to (31 cm), XXVI, 325 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (small tear top of dj, blind collector's stamp on front free end-paper). Anthony Grafton invites us to examine Renaissance Rome as a whole, and in particular, to view its literature in light of the city's institutions. In a series of fascinating episodes, he takes us into the Vatican Library and other collections of the city, focusing on the ever-growing Renaissance dialogue between the Christian and pagan worlds, and exploring the connections between the literary life of the city and the spiritual and political upheavals of the time. Along the way, he sheds new light on such figures as Gregory the Great, Cicero, and the Medici family, and many more. With the author's trademark erudition and wit, Rome Reborn offers a breathtaking tour of Renaissance Rome and its literary culture, vividly depicting the city in all its facets--political, religious, social, and cultural--and showing us the ways in which a deep knowledge of its ancient history and culture shaped the Renaissance worldview.
