Il De re uxoria fu donato nel 1416 a Lorenzo de' Medici il Vecchio per le nozze fiorentine con Ginevra Cavalcanti. Il trattato può essere assunto a simbolo precoce dei rapporti politici e culturali tra Firenze e Venezia in età umanistica. Divenuto una sorta di best seller, si diffuse in tutta Europa, reinterpretato fino ai nostri giorni alla luce dei diversi ambiti storici e letterari. L'opera svolge un ruolo importante nel recupero massiccio degli auctores, greci in particolare, operato dal Barbaro in coerenza con il nuovo programma di studi umanistici avviato in area veneta da Guarino Veronese. Lo scritto armonizza sapientemente l'aneddotica classica con la contemporaneità veneziana, risultando gradevole anche per un lettore 'curioso' dei nostri giorni.
Barbaro's De re uxoria was given as a gift to Lorenzo de' Medici the Elder in 1416 on the occasion of his Florentine wedding to Ginevra Cavalcanti. The treatise can be viewed as an early symbol of the political and cultural relations between Florence and Venice in the age of Humanism. It soon became a sort of best seller and gained popularity across Europe and it continues to be reinterpreted according to different historical and literary perspectives. The work plays an important role in the significant revival of the auctores - Greek ones in particular - operated by Barbaro in line with the new humanistic studies undertaken in the Veneto area by Guarino Veronese. The text skillfully reconciles classical anecdotes with contemporary life in Venice, providing to this day a pleasant read for the curious reader.
