Abstract Scholars have lengthy debated on the originality of the humanistic commentary on the classical authors with respect to the medieval commentaries on the same authors. If the question can be regarded as still open for the works written in the first half of the 15th century, the birth of the printing determined a dramatic change in the contents and the form of the commentaries. From the point of view of the content the humanists are much more interested in the different readings transmitted by the manuscripts, whilst the printing allows both to have different layouts of the commentaries and to insert new tools as indexes and page numbers for consulting them. The present paper will present the new aspects of the printed commentaries and will try to explain the reasons which produced each change.

Donald R. Cressey was a humanistic, liberal criminologist who was committed to the ideals and goals of science. Although he was first and foremost concerned with the advancement of basic criminological knowledge, he also endeavored to spell out some of the positive uses to which that knowledge might be put, particularly in his commentaries on the implications of the theory of differential association for correctional intervention and practice. He took a dim view of recent trends in criminology in which some have turned away from the basic task of pursuit of knowledge and toward advocacy of policies of terror directed at offenders and potential lawbreakers.

As a consequence of the specialization that thrives in current humanistic studies, it is not surprising that scholarship has tended to classify the literary creations of the past into fixed compartments. In the study of medieval Judaism, it is particularly common to follow the traditional division of disciplines into philosophy, Kabbalah, and rabbinism—a categorization that was indeed promoted by the medievals themselves. Following this way of thinking, the study of Rashi's biblical commentaries would be assigned to one class of scholars devoted to the study of rabbinic Judaism; Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed to experts in Jewish philosophy; and the Zohar to yet a third group consisting of specialists in Jewish mysticism.

Full textAbstract:
The history and formation of the European legal culture that had been developing and taking shape since the Middle Ages when universalism manifested itself as ius commune and seemed to be a satisfactory solution, has been marked with the appearance of a trend called ‘legal humanism’ which developed in response to the humanistic Renaissance postulates. While humanism itself pertained to arts and science of the Renaissance period, legal humanism that emerged centuries later, challenged the medieval interpretation of Justinian texts and postulated the rejection of the mos italicus methods described as praemitto, scindo, summo casumque figuro – praelego, casus, commodo, obiicio (Math. Grib. De meth, 3.94-98). The supporters of the new humanistic jurisprudence advocated recognition of Roman law as an element of the research into the Antiquity. As a result, ancient texts underwent a certain ‘purification’ and were subsequently used for the teaching of Roman law based on subsequent „Glosses and Commentaries”. Critical reviews of the fundamental sources of law as well as the first translations of till then unknown Greek texts were also attempted. That all was possible because the jurists of that new era had a much more comprehensible education and linguistic skills and were able to read texts in Greek and finally break away with the medieval impasse Graeca sunt, non leguntur, going beyond the „judicial Bible” of the compilation of Justinian texts only, searching for new and often multi-aspect meanings and a true understanding of the Ancient World. This new approach to Roman law had also changed the attitude to legal studies which ceased to be seen as merely updating the existing laws i.e. serving the practice. Roman law was finally recognised as a historic phenomenon, a product of its times that evolved together with the changing world, and the study of Roman law became an aim and objective of its own. Such an approach quickly found followers in all Western Europe and replaced the exegetic commentaries with a new form – a treaty that compared the theory of law with the existing laws on the basis of its historic context. An author of a legal academic paper was no longer a mere executor and commentator of ius scriptum, but, being a jurist of humanistic views, transformed into a searcher of pure law, an expert of both the Antiquity and the contemporary World. As François Baudouin put it: sine historia caeca est iurisprudentia (De Institutione historiae universae, I, 609).

Meilė Lukšienė’s perception of school is filed with values of humanism, national and civic culture, and the imperative of a harmonious combination of high level of education, critical mind and free will. However, the insightful researcher foresaw and claimed that “it is rare that there should be no gap between an idea and its realization” and she warned at the same time that “… another wave is rolling, levelling all the people and disturbing the revival of their dignity; it is the power of money, the power of commercialism, growing constantly stronger. It manipulates the lowest human instincts and urges (the entire industry of excessive entertainment and sex!), earning from them. Can it bypass schools and educational institutions of all levels?”
The article presents a research, which aims at revealing the reasons of bullying at school in terms of social attitude, as a conflict between humanistic ideas and the reality. A Lithuanian media website www.delfi.lt, where various articles on topics relevant to Lithuania are published, was chosen for the research. 4 articles on bullying were selected for the research and commentaries on them were analysed. The study sample was formed by selecting commentaries according to the following criteria: the commentary had to be logical, ethical, unoffending and informative for the purpose of the study. A total of 186 commentaries on bullying were analysed in terms of their textual meaning.
The research results showed that humanistic ideas are confronted in school reality with the behavior manifesting through bullying that destroys a person’s dignity and psychological balance. It was established that the reasons of bullying lie within leisure, home, and school environment. They are provoked by the following:
TV programs full of examples of bullying and violence as well as the low level of culture of the social actors speaking in the public space;
Undesirable behavioral models of the parents, observed by the children at home (slander, violence against family members, physical punishment of children);
Scarce parental care and consideration of the children caused by the lack of upbringing skills of time;
Limited pedagogical ethics in the behavior of teachers, the supply of informal education activities at school insufficiently meeting the children’s needs.
It was already in 1997 when Meilė Lukšienė suggested an insightful way out: “<…> together with the entire society to analyse the channels and forms of human deformation soberly and responsibly, and look for ways to stop the deformation with joint effort.”

The purpose of this article is to discuss the moderation of Islam for civilization and the humanity of the method used in qualitative research in the form of library research (Library Research), which is descriptive through logical analysis. While the technique used in lifting the data is by Book Research or library research. Because of the interpretation of the study, the data is taken from the Qur'an to check the validity of the analysis of the commentaries on Maktabah Syamilah. This article concludes that the moderation of Islam for civilization and humanity is a unified whole through a flexible teaching system, especially instilling character values can foster a tolerant attitude towards Indonesian plurality, a flexible teaching system through the design of humanistic theories is expected to be able to make humans who have a comprehensive civilization not only material aspects but also proficient in spiritual elements.

During the Renaissance an increased interest in the problem of the immortality of the soul was observed, and although this question became particularly important for the philosophers of the sixteenth century, it is worth noting that it was widely discussed already in the quattrocento. This article presents some results of the research on the revival of the analyses regarding human immortality; it discusses the impact of a humanists’ new vision of man and education on the dispute on immortality. Studia humanitatis, as an expression of Renaissance anthropocentrism, had the effect in the form of treaties on human dignity and nobility. Adding to this the concept of individualism in the humanistic pedagogy and new translations and editions of ancient works, including De Anima of Aristotle and the commentaries on this text, we have an explanation for the intensification of the discussions on the immortality of human soul.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the course of the sixteenth century, in the Low Countries maritime law was changing. At first, damages caused during maritime transport (“averages”) were compensated on the basis of customs of limited scope and calculation, starting from “facts and figures”. From the 1550s onwards, legal scholars developed new views; they revised norms, some of which came from below, while others were imposed by the sovereign. Both in legislation and in jurisprudential commentaries, the Roman rules of general average were revived. The legal authors made use of a more principled, humanistic method of interpretation. Their views did not contradict mercantile opinions; instead, merchants called for necessary adjustments of the law. The changes in doctrine and legislation responded to developments in the organization of the maritime industry. Although the legal scholars could have doubts about the older rules and how to reconcile them with a principled approach, their contribution to updating the rules was crucial.

The following essay is presented as part of a long-term project concerned with the theory and practice of modern Jewish thinkers as interpreters of the Bible. The recent Bible commentaries of Eliezer Schweid, who is one of the foremost Jewish scholars and theologians active in Israel today, are analyzed in comparison with parallel interpretations of Martin Buber, with special reference to the first chapters of Genesis. Their respective analyses of Biblical narrative reveal notable similarities in their treatment of the literary “body” of the text as the key to its theological significance. Nonetheless, Buber articulates religious experience largely “from the human side,” striving to mediate Biblical consciousness to the contemporary humanistic mindset, while Schweid positions himself more as the clarion of the “prophetic writers” for whom the fear of God, no less than the love of God, must inform an authentic religious sensibility. Schweid’s more theocentric perspective has great import for contemporary issues such as the universal covetousness engendered by the violation of our ecological covenant with the Earth.

Full textAbstract:
My article argues for reading the novel as political allegory. America's efforts in the early and mid-nineteenth century are represented by Robert Acton trying to compete with a “European family” for international colonizing privileges. A blend of British and French empire can be seen in the person of Eugenia, the Baroness Munster – originally American by birth, who has, though her years as European nobility, adopted the policy of expansionism. To fully understand James's caustic comment on imperialistic ventures – most notably as he pits the pernicious nature of European exploits against the more humanistic pursuit of art for art's sake – we can read Eugenia's brother, Felix, as a proponent of aestheticism, committed to seeking beauty in all life pursuits. In sum, I suggest that the novel need not be dismissed (as it largely has been for so many decades) as a simplistic, insignificant part of James's oeuvre. I use historical research, literary analyses of other scholars, statements made by James in his letters, and critical statements by James in such commentaries as his biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne in order to support my views. Of course, I use the primary text, The Europeans, for much of my support.

Oggetto di studio è la ricezione di Tibullo in età umanistica. La Parte prima affronta la delicata questione della trasmissione del Corpus Tibullianum, diretta ed indiretta, includendo una disamina del più antico codice integro superstite (il ms. Milano, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, R 26 sup.) ed un focus sulla circolazione a stampa dell’opera nel XV sec. Nella Parte seconda, dopo una ridefinizione delle peculiarità della poesia di Tibullo e dei tratti che accomunano la lettura umanistica dei classici, si prendono in esame varie tipologie di commento alla silloge, considerando un’applicazione esegetica quasi del tutto inedita. Questi gli studi esaminati: le postille di Antonio Panormita al ms. Vat. Lat. 3270; le annotazioni al ms. Riccardiano 606, autografo di Cristoforo Landino; i segni di lettura di Tito Strozzi sul ms. Firenze, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Magl. VII 1053; il commento di Giovanni Pontano, trasmesso dal ms. Wolfenbüttel, Herzog-August Bibliothek, Aug. Fol. 82.6, interamente autografo dell’umanista; le postille del Poliziano annotate sui margini di una copia dell’editio princeps della raccolta (oggi l’incunabolo corsiniano 50.F.37). Infine, si prende in considerazione il commentario di Bernardino Cillenio, accluso nell’edizione tibulliana del 1475 (Roma, G. Lauer). La Parte terza è incentrata sulla rilettura in chiave tibulliana della maggiore produzione poetica quattrocentesca in lingua latina, prediligendo la poesia di quegli umanisti dei quali è stata esaminata l’applicazione allo studio di Tibullo. L’attenzione verte sui seguenti autori: Antonio Panormita; Enea Silvio Piccolomini; Giovanni Marrasio; Cristoforo Landino; Angelo Poliziano; Tito Strozzi; Giovanni Pontano. Nella Parte quarta si offre un bilancio conclusivo della ricerca e si indicano le possibili prospettive future di questa indagine.
The aim of this work is to investigate the reception of Tibullus during the Italian Quattrocento. The first part treats the transmission of the Corpus Tibullianum, including an analysis of the ms. Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, R 26 sup., which is the most ancient manuscript of the collection. The second part, after a redefinition of Tibullus’ style, looks at the humanist studies of the Corpus, a material for the most part still unpublished: the annotations of Antonio Panormita, Cristoforo Landino, Tito Strozzi, Giovanni Pontano and Angelo Poliziano have been taken into consideration. Then we examined Bernardino Cillenio’s commentary, published in Rome in 1475 by G. Lauer. The third part considers the poetic reception of the Corpus, preferring those authors that have also annotated Tibullus’ poems: Antonio Panormita, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Giovanni Marrasio, Landino, Poliziano, Tito Strozzi and Pontano. The last part includes also some considerations about future perspectives of our research.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi presenta un’indagine sulla ricezione del corpus tragico di Seneca in età umanistica, focalizzandosi in particolare sulle edizioni a stampa (incunaboli e cinquecentine fino all'anno 1514) e sui volgarizzamenti. Il primo capitolo riassume brevemente la circolazione delle tragedie senecane nei codici manoscritti durante il Medioevo. Il secondo capitolo contiene il catalogo e la descrizione delle edizioni a stampa delle tragedie dall'editio princeps (Ferrara, ante 17 dicembre 1478) all'edizione a tre commenti a cura di Josse Bade (Parigi, 5 dicembre 1514). Per ciascuna edizione, si analizzano i paratesti (prefazioni, lettere di dedica, commenti, componimenti poetici, illustrazioni) e si ricostruiscono le identità delle personalità che contribuirono alla pubblicazione (editori, commentatori, dedicatari, tipografi). Le prefazioni e le lettere di dedica sono pubblicate in appendice e corredate di traduzione. Una sezione è dedicata ai commenti umanistici di Gellio Bernardino Marmitta, Daniele Caetani e Josse Bade. Il terzo capitolo propone l’analisi testuale dei cinque volgarizzamenti delle tragedie senecane prodotti fino all'anno 1497. Il primo è contenuto nel poemetto incompiuto «Ippolito e Fedra» di Sinibaldo da Perugia (ante 1384). Il secondo è un volgarizzamento anonimo in prosa di area napoletana (prima metà del Quattrocento). Il terzo è il volgarizzamento in versi di Evangelista Fossa dell'«Agamemnon», stampato a Venezia il 28 gennaio 1497. Il quarto è il volgarizzamento in versi di Pizio da Montevarchi dell'«Hercules furens», inedito, conservato nel manoscritto 106 della Biblioteca Classense di Ravenna, del 1497-1498. Il quinto è il volgarizzamento in versi dell'«Hippolytus», ancora di Pizio da Montevarchi, stampato a Venezia il 2 ottobre 1497. Nella tesi, si pubblicano i testi degli ultimi tre volgarizzamenti individuati.
This thesis presents a survey of the reception of Seneca's tragedies between Quattrocento and Cinquecento, focusing on printed editions (incunabula and cinquecentine published until 1514) and vernacular translations. The first chapter summarizes the circulation of Seneca's tragedies in manuscripts during the Middle Ages. The second chapter contains the catalogue and the description of the printed editions of the tragedies from the editio princeps (Ferrara, before 17 December 1478) to the three-comment edition edited by Josse Bade (Paris, 5 December 1514). For each edition, I analyzed the paratexts (prefaces, dedicatory letters, comments, poems, illustrations) and I reconstructed the identities of the personalities who contributed to the publication (editors, commentators, dedicatees, printers). Prefaces and dedicatory letters are published in the appendices with an Italian translation. A section is devoted to the humanistic commentaries by Gellio Bernardino Marmitta, Daniele Caetani and Josse Bade. In the third chapter I focused on the five vernacular translations of Seneca's tragedies produced until 1497. The first is contained in the unfinished poem "Ippolito e Fedra" by Sinibaldo da Perugia (before 1384). The second is an anonymous prose translation produced in the Neapolitan area during the first half of the fifteenth century. The third is the verse translation by Evangelista Fossa of the "Agamemnon", printed in Venice on 28 January 1497. The fourth is the verse translation by Pizio da Montevarchi of the "Hercules furens", preserved in the manuscript 106 of the Classense Library of Ravenna (1497-1498). The fifth is the verse translation of the "Hippolytus", again by Pizio da Montevarchi, printed in Venice on 2 October 1497. In my thesis, I edited the texts of the last three vernacular translations.

Full textAbstract:
The Pazzi Consipracy by Angelo Poliziano is the only historical work in the vast production of the famous humanist. He was an eye-witness of the tragic episode that took place in Florence in 1478 in which Giuliano de' Medici was killed and his brother Lorenzo il Magnifico wounded. This was one episode in a conflict between rival banking houses during what Fernand Braudel has defined as "the first crisis of capitalism". Behind the veil of a highly cultured form of appropriation of the classical tradition (Sallust's De Catilinae coniuratione), we can discern a ruthless realism which, in its spare style, anticipates the mood of early cinema. The Pactianae coniurationis commentarium clearly reveals the traces of a time that was neither happy nor brilliant, as in the illusory images of the Renaissance that have come down to us, but rather bubbled with bloodshed and also featured phenomena such as gambling which are typical of times of crisis. Following Alessandro Perosa's by now impossible to get hold of edition, Poliziano's work is presented here in a historic perspective updated with the most recent historical reconstructions, with a series of appendices and a thorough chronology that help to focus the meanings and bring to the fore the features of the period in their potential entirety.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the writings of Nicholas Trevet, the English Dominican whose work was influential at the beginning of the fourteenth century both at the new centre of power in papal Avignon and in early Italian humanist circles during the height of turmoil over radical Franciscans and Joachimism. Trevet was suspicious of predictive claims, and he combined this suspicion with an attentiveness to prophetic language and philosophical discernment of the workings of time and providence. Developed especially in his commentaries on Boethius and on Seneca’s tragedies, Trevet’s model of prophecy had affinities with literary talent and intellectual ability and was indicative of trends within both the Dominican Order and the Avignon papal court.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 2 explores the relationship between destruction and memory within the historical discourses on the Islamic conquest and the Christian recovery of Spain, which eventually resulted in the thirteenth-century demolition of Toledo Mosque. In the first place, medieval narratives on the Loss of Spain are studied in order to analyze the early modern echoes of its commentaries about the Islamic destruction of Christian Spain, and particularly those about the demolition of churches. In addition, the early modern reuse of that narrative is connected to the Humanist concern about the relationship between architectonic destruction and memory. Finally, the example of the medieval story on the conversion and later destruction of Toledo Mosque is studied as a precedent to subsequent narrations.

This major two-volume study offers an interdisciplinary analysis of Montaigne’s Essais and their fortunes in early modern Europe and the modern Western university. Volume 1 focuses on contexts from within Montaigne’s own milieu, and on the ways in which his book made him a patron-author or instant classic in the eyes of his editor Marie de Gournay and his promoter Justus Lipsius. Volume 2 focuses on the reader-writers across Europe who used the Essais to make their own works, from corrected editions and translations in print, to life-writing and personal records in manuscript. The two volumes work together to offer a new picture of the book’s significance in literary and intellectual history. The school of Montaigne potentially included everyone in early modern Europe with occasion and means to read and write for themselves and for their friends and family, unconstrained by an official function or scholastic institution. The Essais were shaped by the post-Reformation battle to regulate the educated individual’s judgement in reading and acting upon the two books bequeathed by God to man. The book of scriptures and the book of nature were becoming more accessible through print and manuscript cultures. But at the same time that access was being mediated more intensively by teachers such as clerics and humanists, by censors and institutions, by learned authors of past and present, and by commentaries and glosses upon those authors. Montaigne enfranchised the unofficial reader-writer with liberties of judgement offered and taken in the specific historical conditions of his era.

John Mair was a sixteenth-century Scottish theologian who taught at the Universities of Paris, Glasgow, and St Andrews. This chapter provides an overview of John Mair’s life and works as well as a brief analysis of his views on: the nature of theology, God, Christ, salvation, and ethics. Here one discovers that Mair’s theology is informed by, and in dialogue with, the long medieval tradition, and that in particular his understanding of the nature of theology, God, and Christ are largely developed in response to select fourteenth-century theologians as well as humanistic tendencies that flourished in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The chapter concludes with a discussion of his biblical commentaries and their role in Mair’s theology.

The first Florentine vernacular translation of Seneca’s Agamemnon into verse dates back to the late 15th century. It was composed by Friar Evangelista Fossa, a member of the Order of Servants of Mary, and was published in Venice on 28th January 1497. The translation is incomplete, since it only covers the tragedy up to its second chorus; however, it has interesting features both as far as metrics (the models provided by Dante’s Commedia and by vernacular bucolic poetry are evident) and contents (the Christianisation of the hypotext is relevant) are concerned. The contribution offers an in-depth study of Fossa’s translation style and his debt towards vernacular literature and the humanistic commentaries on Seneca’s tragedies by Gellio Bernardino Marmitta and Daniele Caetani.

This chapter, by way of introduction, explores the life and work of Badius, drawing on judgements by his contemporaries and posterity. It introduces Badius via perspectives on the various roles he played throughout his career in the learned culture of the Renaissance: poet, schoolmaster, commentator, editor, scholar-printer. His biography is presented in the context of the groups and networks with which he identified, both secular humanist and religious, in the Low Countries, Italy, Germany, England and France. Educated by the Ghent Common Life Brethren, in the early part of his career he worked in Lyon for the press of Johann Trechsel, and belonged to a group of northern European humanists who circulated and published devotional poetry. He became known as an editor, grammarian and writer of commentaries, and established his own press in 1503 in Paris, where he associated with the best known humanist scholars of the day: Robert Gaguin, Lefèvre d’Etaples, Guillaume Budé, Erasmus.

Abstract Chapter 3 provides a comprehensive study of Wynkyn de Worde’s four editions of Virgil’s Eclogues (1512, 1514, 1522, 1529, titled the ‘Bucolics’). Through analysing the contents, production and use of these editions, the chapter demonstrates the enduring influence of medieval pedagogy on the gradual adoption of humanist curricula in England. As the first part of the chapter shows, the commentary in De Worde’s editions was modelled on a genre of medieval pedagogic commentaries, often termed ‘familiar commentaries’. Second, an examination of surviving Sammelbände suggests that late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century schoolmasters more often taught the Bucolics alongside traditional medieval school texts rather than humanist curricular choices. The third part of the chapter shows how De Worde progressively revised his printing repertoire to accommodate developing humanist attitudes among English readers.

Abstract Chapter 5 examines Gavin Douglas’s Older Scots translation of the Aeneid (1513), the first full translation of the poem into any language related to English. While Douglas has often been seen as a humanist innovator in translation technique, this study contextualizes his practice within broader fifteenth-century French and English traditions. Although Douglas scathingly repudiates Caxton’s Aeneid translation for its textual infidelity, the first part of the chapter argues that his and Caxton’s works are more alike than meets the eye. Sharing in common fifteenth-century traditions, both translations exhibit similar techniques of amplifying Virgil’s text and reworking its style. The second part of the chapter shows that Douglas’s engagement of humanist commentaries is underpinned by these literary concerns. Rather than a sign of scrupulous textual fidelity, he uses commentaries to facilitate his poetic embellishments of Virgil’s text.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter examines aspects of the history and theory of commentary, and places Badius’s own commentary practice within these contexts. It focuses in particular of the tradition of grammatica associated with the grammarians of Late Antiquity: Servius, Donatus, Diomedes. The chapter distinguishes between the designations used for different types of humanist commentary in the Renaissance, and narrows the focus to Badius’s own ‘familiar commentary’ (familiaris interpretatio). In his commentaries, on medieval and religious texts as well as on humanist and classical authors, Badius maintained an identifiably ‘humanist’ approach which was nevertheless firmly grounded in a long tradition of pedagogical commentary, bringing out the moral meanings of a text through a close examination of grammar and style. The chapter examines the defining features of this type of commentary, its composition and uses, and analyses the figurative language Badius used to characterize his commentary text.

Full textAbstract:
The fourth chapter focuses on Poliziano’s Coniurationis commentarium, the literary account of the Pazzi conspiracy against the Medici brothers, Lorenzo and Giuliano (1478). The critical analysis reconstructs the circumstances of composition of the text, its publication in two printed editions, and its circulation in the manuscript tradition, revealing that the work enjoyed widespread diffusion as the central pillar of pro-Medici propaganda. The investigation into the text shows that it totally adheres to the guidelines of Lorenzo de’ Medici’s cultural politics in the aftermath of the plot. The thorough examination of the changes made by Poliziano in the second version of the text confirms that its political perspective also mirrored the evolution of the political situation in Florence and in Italy in 1480. Despite being a highly propagandistic work, Poliziano’s Commentarium is also a sophisticated piece of literature produced by the eclectic combination of manifold sources drawn from the classical tradition: a conflation that reflects the humanist’s principle of docta varietas. The main prototype of Sallust is combined it with multiple references to a variety of models: other classical historians (Suetonius, Caesar, and Livy), poetry, comic authors (most of all Terence), and even technical literature (Celsus, Pliny the Elder, etc.). In particular, the extensive use of Suetonius, especially his biography of Caesar, conveys particular political overtones. One of the crucial ideological elements in the text is the representation of Lorenzo de’ Medici as an actual heroic prince, who is loved by his people and embodies the idea of the whole state.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter traces the evolution of Badius’s commentary practice by studying the grammatical commentaries he composed on the classical authors central to his pedagogical programme: Terence, Virgil, Horace, Persius and Juvenal. Placing these in the wider context of humanist education, the chapter considers aspects of presentation and mise-en-page, and analyses Badius’s changing commentary methods and the audiences for which he was writing. It pays particular attention to the methods used to orient and guide the reader through the text: introductory sections, rules, illustrations, etc.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines Badius’s conception of the pedagogical function of literature, and sets it in the context of late medieval and humanist debates about poetry, education and ethics. It considers Badius’s ideas about the links between poetry and moral instruction alongside those of contemporary writers Jacob Wimpfeling and Battista Spagnoli (Mantuan). Badius saw all of his familiar commentary texts as providing moral instruction in some sense. The chapter examines in particular Badius’s prefaces, prologues and commentaries on Roman satire (Horace, Juvenal and Persius) and Roman comedy (Terence); and his two adaptations of the Ship of Fools.
