Summary:

A study of the Italian humanist Gasparino Barzizza, or Gasparinus de Bergamo, a grammarian lecturing on Seneca, Cicero, Virgil and Terence, among others, in early fifteenth-century Padua. Mercer draws on literary sources never previously used by historians, ranging across documents scattered in numerous libraries, to make sense of the sources of Barzizza's teaching. This book, originally published in paperback in 1979 under the ISBN 978-0-900547-51-5, was made Open Access in 2024 as part of the MHRA Revivals programme.
