Winner, Phyllis Goodhart Gordan Book Prize, Renaissance Society of America

The intellectual heritage of the Italian Renaissance rivals that of any period in human history. Yet even as the social, political, and economic history of Renaissance Italy inspires exciting and innovative scholarship, the study of its intellectual history has grown less appealing, and our understanding of its substance and significance remains largely defined by the work of nineteenth-century thinkers. In The Lost Italian Renaissance, historian and literary scholar Christopher Celenza argues that serious interest in the intellectual life of Renaissance Italy can be reinvigorated--and the nature of the Renaissance itself reconceived--by recovering a major part of its intellectual and cultural activity that has been largely ignored since the Renaissance was first discovered: the vast body of works--literary, philosophical, poetic, and religious--written in Latin.
