Humanist Educational Treatises
Edited and translated by Craig W. Kallendorf
The disciplines now known as the humanities emerged during the Italian Renaissance as the result of an educational reform movement begun by humanist teachers, writers, and scholars. This volume contains four of the most important theoretical statements that emerged from these efforts: Pier Paolo Vergerio, "The Character and Studies Befitting a Free-Born Youth"; Leonardo Bruni, "The Study of Literature"; Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (Pope Pius II), "The Education of Boys"; and Battista Guarino, "A Program of Teaching and Learning."
