Description
The Ciceronian Controversy: A Renaissance Literary Debate In 15th-century Italy, two camps emerged over the ideal model for Latin prose. This collection brings together previously unpublished letters and writings that shed light on this pivotal literary dispute. At its core, the controversy revolved around imitation and the role of the author. The exchange between Angelo Poliziano and Paolo Cortesi, Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola and Pietro Bembo, and Giovambattista Giraldi Cinzio and his mentor Celio Calcagnini offer a unique glimpse into the debates that shaped Renaissance literary production. These quarrels also reflect broader cultural movements of the time, including the shift towards vernacular languages and the development of Jesuit pedagogy. This collection provides valuable insights into the intellectual currents that defined the Renaissance era.
