Taschenbuch / Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 756 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband etwas berieben und bestoßen, insgesamt altersbedingt vergilbt, sonst in gutem Zustand / Binding somewhat rubbed and scuffed, overall yellowed due to age. - It was the age in which Europe rediscovered antiquity even as it built the foundations of the modern world; when Christendom lost its eastern empire and conquered a new world to the west; an age in which Leonardo and Michelangelo glorified the human body while Andreas Vesalius stripped bare its skeleton; an age in which a revolution in scientific knowledge coexisted with a religious inquisition and the hysterical persecution of suspected witches. The 200 years we call the Renaissance were so eventful and contradictory that one man, Erasmus of Rotterdam, could decry their tyranny, avarice and iniquity, yet proclaim the "near approach of a golden age." This collection presents the gorgeous, troubled tapestry of the European Renaissance in the words of more than a hundred of Its monarchs, prelates, merchants, scholars, artists, poets, and ordinary citizens. It includes selections from writings by Pope Pius II, Miguel de Cervantes, Francesco Petrarca, Giovanni Boccaccio, Albrecht Dürer, Michelangelo Buonarrotti, Francis Bacon, John Calvin, François Rabelais, Sir Thomas Wyatt, Nicholas Copernicus, and St. Teresa of Avila. Embracing epochal events and the flow of everyday life, history and the arts, religion and science, commerce and statecraft, The Portable Renaissance Reader is a banquet of a book.
