Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Literary Source-Book of the Italian Renaissance Of the not too difficult problems connected with the preparation of this little book, one alone deserves a moment´s consideration. In order to select a few representative pieces from the abundance of Renaissance literature, it has been necessary to define with some accuracy the end proposed. It is evident that the point of view of the historical student would be quite different from that of the Italian humanist, if the latter were to sit in judgment upon the literary productions of his time. It would suit our purpose ill, however, if we should prefer the polished sentences of Bembo to the virile utterances of so indifferent a Latinist as Pius II. It is the verdict of posterity, seeking to discover, in the literary remains of the period of Italian greatness, traces of the beginning of the modern spirit, that the chefs d´oeuvre of that period have been thrust into obscurity by the growing importance of those ingenuous by-products of intellectual effort, which more truly reflect the tendencies of the age. In a similar manner it has been thought proper to neglect the productions of the Florentine Academy, which deal not too skillfully with theological and metaphysical problems that have for our age a value little more than archæological, and for their own time merely that of intellectual exercise. The writings of a Pico della Mirandola have for the modern student scant interest other than that which reflects from a character of especial interest and beauty. In the following pages the task has been to offer selections fairly illustrative of the rich and varied forms of thought and action which go to form the historical synthesis, to which has been attached the name of the Italian Renaissance.
