Une interrogation sur la construction du mythe de la Renaissance au XVe siècle. Les humanistes italiens ont pensé leur époque comme celle de la rupture avec le Moyen Age, notamment dans l'univers figuratif et les lettres. L'auteure présente le renouvellement culturel et la survivance des structures anciennes pour mieux faire apparaître les paradoxes qui caractérisent cette période.

In this book, Christopher Celenza provides an intellectual history of the Italian Renaissance during the long fifteenth century, from c.1350-1525. His book fills a bibliographic gap between Petrarch and Machiavelli and offers clear case studies of contemporary luminaries, including Leonardo Bruni, Poggio Bracciolini, Lorenzo Valla, Marsilio Ficino, Angelo Poliziano, and Pietro Bembo. Integrating sources in Italian and Latin, Celenza focuses on the linked issues of language and philosophy. He also examines the conditions in which Renaissance intellectuals operated in an era before the invention of printing, analyzing reading strategies and showing how texts were consulted, and how new ideas were generated as a result of conversations, both oral and epistolary. The result is a volume that offers a new view on both the history of philosophy and Italian Renaissance intellectual life. It will serve as a key resource for students and scholars of early modern Italian humanism and culture.

The relationship between early modern Italy and its medieval past has become the object of new interest and debate in art history. To a certain extent, other fields of scholarship, such as history, history of literature, and history of philosophy, have remained alien to the discussion. Yet, the emergence of the humanities as autonomous disciplines in the nineteenth century was predicated on the arduous and sophisticated scrutiny and re-thinking of the ‘divides’ in the history of western Europe and their hermeneutical validity. Articulating the division between ancient / medieval and medieval / Renaissance has been particularly important in this discourse. At present, although the interpretation of the medieval / Renaissance divide no longer rests on the oversimplifying binomial of continuity / discontinuity, the identification and assessment of what historically constitutes a break, a transition, a regression, or a novelty are still topics of contention and ambivalence.Remembering the Middle Ages in Early Modern Italy approaches these important interpretive issues through the fresh lens of case studies carried out by scholars from the diverse fields of history of art and architecture, history of literature, and philosophy. In these essays, the notion of ‘remembrance’ is examined and inflected in multiple ways: as memory and survival, as a process of distance and clarification, and as nostalgia, repudiation, and revival. Remembering the Middle Ages also offers an updated survey on the ways in which the medieval / Renaissance divide was originally constructed in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and subsequently interpreted from Jacob Burckhardt’s The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy (1860) to the present day.

This is a full-length study of the use of the dialogue form in Italy from the early sixteenth century until Galileo. Drawing on a wide range of sources, it examines the characteristics which determined the genre's unrivalled popularity in the period as a vehicle for polemic, debate, technical exposition and comic drama. More than simply an account of the development of an individual literary genre, however, the book is a contribution to the broader social and cultural history of the period. As representations of conversation, miniature dramas of persuasion, the dialogues of the Italian Renaissance constitute an extraordinarily rich - and largely untapped - source of information about the ideals and practice of communication in the early modern age.
