The Poet's Wisdom - The Humanists, the Church, and the Formation of Philosophy in the Early Renaissance

The book explores the philosophical thinking of Petrarch and Boccaccio in contrast to the writings of contemporary mendicants. Examining both Latin and vernacular works, it investigates how these humanists poetically express the temporal, subjective, and emotional quality of moral sensibility.
