Summary:

This volume compiles contributions from the 2012 FIRB conference held in Venice, focusing on the evolution of epistolary writing between the 15th and 16th centuries. It explores the development of epistolary theory and practice during the Renaissance, examining the works of prominent humanists such as Francesco Filelfo, Niccolò Perotti, and Niccolò Machiavelli, as well as lesser-known figures like Bartolomeo Baldana and Girolamo Aliotti. The essays analyze the influence of classical sources, including Cicero and Seneca, and the medieval ars dictaminis on the epistolary genre. The book provides insights into the social, political, and literary contexts of the period, highlighting the role of letters in shaping intellectual and cultural exchanges. Generated by AI.
