Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Courts Camps of the Italian Renaissance: Being a Mirror of the Life and Times of the Ideal Gentleman Count Baldassare Castiglione Derived Largely From His Own Letters and Other Contemporary Sources, to Which Is Added an Epitome of His Famous Work "the Book of the Courtier" With Appreciation An It is a truism to remark that the favourite masterpiece of one age may seem to be almost forgotten in a later day. Yet, when the verdict alike of his contemporaries and of posterity has once placed a man amongst the Band of Immortals, we may rest certain that his work will have might to conquer the apparently inevitable result of Time - oblivion. In that roll-call of Honour we venture to place Count Baldassare Castiglione, when we remember the world-wide fame of his Book of the Courtier, "a mirror of the age which gave it birth," a model for all Europe of the Ideal Gentleman, and a textbook on the subject in the spacious days of Elizabethan culture. Thus we stand in need of no apology for telling the little-known story of Castiglione´s life, the stirring events in which it was his fortune to take part, and the distinguished group of noble lords and ladies, of great soldiers, scholars, poets, and artists who honoured him with their friendship. In choosing one of the minor characters in the great Drama of History, there is more space and freedom to dwell upon the intimate daily life of the Renaissance, with all its abiding charm. A purely Historical work, dealing mainly with Kings and ruling Princes, must give such supreme importance to political matters, that there is no time to linger in the pleasant byways of life, where the flowers blossom and the birds sing.
