Humanism, Theology, and Spiritual Crisis in Renaissance Florence: Giovanni Caroliâs Liber dierum lucensium
A Critical Edition, English Translation, Commentary, and Introduction
Series: - The Renaissance Society of America, Volume: 10

Editor:
This is the first work by Giovanni Caroli (1428â1503) to appear in print. Caroli was one of the leading theologians in Florence during the last decades of the fifteenth century, a man who lived between the two great traditions of his time: the scholastic and the humanist. The volume contains a critical edition of the Latin text, entitled The Book of My Days in Lucca, an English translation, commentary notes and an introduction. Caroli presents us with his powerful personal reaction to the institutional crisis regarding the required reform in the Dominican Order, yet even here we already notice the pervasive influence of his classical education, and especially his acquaintance with authors such as Cicero, Livy, Tacitus, and especially Virgil.
Amos Edelheit, Ph.D. (2007) is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy, Maynooth University. He is the author of many articles and of two monographs, the more recent one being Scholastic Florence. Moral Psychology in the Quattrocento (Brill, 2014).
âThis Latin edition and English translation will be of immense value to a variety of scholars, whether they are interested in the events recounted, in intellectual history, in the nature of fifteenth-century Latin, or in the melding of classical sources with the language of the Scholastic tradition..â
