Supplementa humanistica lovaniensia 39
Content:
During his lifetime the historian and antiquarian Biondo Flavio (1392-1463) struggled to obtain recognition as a major contributor to the humanistic movement of the fifteenth century. Throughout the Renaissance, fellow Italian scholars far too often condemned rather than endorsed his scholarly works. His troublesome career and mixed reputation among his peers stand in stark contrast with the highly innovative character of his learning, which proved to be ground-breaking for the further development of various strands of historical and antiquarian research in the Early Modern Age. The authors of this volume aim to contribute to a reappraisal of this pioneering humanist scholar by a fresh assessment of his major writings in the fields of historical linguistics, historiography, Roman topography, and historical geography.0

"The articles, collected in the present volume, are revised versions of papers read in a double session on "Biondo Flavio: historian, antiquarian, choreographer" ... during the Annual Meeting of the Renaissance Society of America (27-29 March 2014) in New York. The six papers, read on the occasion (Castner, Della Schiava, Delle Donne, Laureys, Muecke and White), are accompanied by three further articles (Marcellino, Mazzocco and Pontari) that broaden the range of topics dealt with in this book"
