Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Cloth, dj. Minor shelf wear; light scuffing to jacket. Else a bright, clean copy. In this book, Douglas Biow traces the role that humanists played in the development of professions and professionalism in Renaissance Italy, and vice versa. For instance, humanists were initially quite hostile to medicine, viewing it as poorly adapted to their program of study. They much preferred the secretarial profession, which they made their own throughout the Renaissance and eventually defined in treatises in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Examining a wide range of treatises, poems, and other works that humanists wrote both as and about doctors, ambassadors, and secretaries, Biow shows how interactions with these professions forced humanists to make their studies relevant to their own times, uniting theory and practice in a way that strengthened humanism. His detailed analyses of writings by familiar and lesser-known figures, from Petrarch, Machiavelli, and Tasso to Maggi, Fracastoro, and Barbaro, will especially interest students of Renaissance Italy, but also anyone concerned with the rise of professionalism during the early modern period.…

Cloth with dustjacket. Zustand: Gut. 199 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, sonst guter Zustand / dust jacket slightly rubbed, otherwise good condition. - Mirabile Dictu covers in six separate chapters the works of Virgil, Dante, Boccaccio, Ariosto, Tasso, and Spenser. Its broad aim is to provide a select cross section of works in the Middle Ages and Renaissance in order to examine and compare for the first time the marvelous in the light of epic genre, in the light of literary and critical theory (both past and present), and in the light of historically and culturally determined representational practices. Douglas Biow organizes this volume around the literary topos of the bleeding branch through which a metamorphosed person speaks. In each chapter the author takes this marvelous event as his starting point for a broad-ranging comparison of the several poets who employed the image; he also investigates the ways in which a periods notion of history underpins its representations of the marvelous. This method offers a controlled yet flexible framework within which to develop readings that engage a multiplicity of theories and approaches. Mirabile Dictu offers not only an insightful survey of the literary connections among this group of important poets but also a useful point of departure for scholars and students intrigued by the re-use of epic conventions, by the peculiar role of marvelous events in dramatic poetry, and by the later history of classical literature. At the same time, the study articulates a concept of the marvelous that will prove helpful for scholars interested in the fantastic and the sublime. Mirabile Dictu will be of interest to scholars in a wide range of fields, from comparative literature to philology to medieval and Renaissance studies. / Contents Introduction Chapter 1.
