Et Amicorum: Essays on Renaissance Humanism and Philosophy
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-35501-9 (ISBN)
Jill Kraye, Professor Emerita of the Warburg Institute, is renowned internationally for her scholarship on Renaissance philosophy and humanism. This volume pays tribute to her achievements with essays by friends, colleagues, and doctoral students—all leading scholars—on subjects as diverse as her work. Articles on canonical figures such as Marsilio Ficino and Justus Lipsius mix with more quirky pieces on alphabetic play and the Hippocratic aphorisms. Many chapters seek to bridge the divide between humanism and philosophy, including David Lines's survey of the way fifteenth-century humanists actually defined philosophy and Brian Copenhaver's polemical essay against the concept of humanist philosophy. The volume includes a full bibliography of Professor Kraye's scholarly publications.
Contributors are: Michael Allen, Daniel Andersson, Lilian Armstrong, Stefan Bauer, Dorigen Caldwell, Brian Copenhaver, Martin Davies, Germana Ernst, Guido Giglioni, Robert Goulding, Anthony Grafton, James Hankins, J. Cornelia Linde, David Lines, Margaret Meserve, John Monfasani, Anthony Ossa-Richardson, Jan Papy, Michael Reeve, Alessandro Scafi, and William Stenhouse.
Anthony Ossa-Richardson, Ph.D. (2011), Warburg Institute, is a Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Southampton. His first monograph, based on his doctoral thesis, was The Devil's Tabernacle: The Pagan Oracles in Early Modern Thought (2013), and he has published a range of articles and book chapters on various aspects of early modern intellectual history. Margaret Meserve, Ph.D. (2001), Warburg Institute, is Associate Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame. She is the author of Empires of Islam in Renaissance Historical Thought (2008) and has published widely on Renaissance humanism, book history, and political communication.
