Item description from seller

223 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 abgenutzt, Einband etwas berieben, insgesamt etwas vergilbt. Insgesamt guter Zustand / Dust jacket worn, binding a bit rubbed, overall a bit yellowed. Overall good condition. - The theme of the second annual conference of the Center for Medieval and Early Renaissance Studies at State University of New York at Binghamton, Developments in the Early Renaissance, differs from those of the previous and subsequent conferences in the diversity of its related subtopics. The six essays in this book are the papers from that conference which cover several areas that are characteristic of the early Renaissance experience: poetry, technology, art history, politics, thought, and scholarship. The first three essays treat the creative individualism that was so essential to the developments which identify the early Renaissance. John C. Nelson, in The Poetry of Michelangelo, examines the background of several of Michelangelos sonnets. Lynn White, jr., contributes The Flavor of Early Renaissance Technology, an intriguing representation of the early Renaissance engineer and the develonment of the technolopv of the period. Rudolf Wittkowers essay, Hieroglyphics in the Early Renaissance, assigns more importance to the early Renaissance hieroglyphs that too frequently have been regarded by other scholars as playful devices. The scope of the final three essays is more general; they plot the growth of the early Renaissance developments whose influence may be measured through the centuries to this day. Joseph R. Strayers Origins of the Early Modern State describes the transition over several centuries of European government from the local medieval political structure to the large modern state. Paul Oskar Kristeller, in The Impact of Early Italian Humanism on Thought and Learning, evaluates the importance of the contribution of Italian humanism by describing its achievement within the domain of humanism, its influence beyond the borders of Italy, and its impact on other fields of learning. Richard McKeon brings the series to a significant conclusion with The Transformation of the Liberal Arts in the Renaissance, in which he proposes to understand the Renaissance by a correct apprehension of the liberal arts from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance to the present, sharing his vast knowledge of sources which he uses as examples. Each article is followed by a bibliography of sources that should aid and interest the generalist and the specialist alike. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550 Leinen mit Schutzumschlag / Cloth with dust jacket.
