Prints from 1800 Summary This book revises the picture of the teacher and educator of princes, Vittorino Rambaldoni da Feltre (c. 1378, Feltre -- 1446, Mantua), taking a completely new approach to show his work and life from the individual perspectives created by his students and contemporaries. From 1423 to 1446, Vittorino da Feltre was in charge of a school in Mantua, where his students included not only the offspring of Italy's princes, but also the first generation of authors dealing with books in print. Among his students were historians like Bartolomeo Sacchi (named Platina), who wrote an extensive history of the popes, and mathematicians like Jacopo Cassiano (Cremonensis), who translated the work of Archimedes from Greek into Latin. Vittorino is still regarded as the educationalist of Italian Renaissance humanism per sé. This work not only contributes to the study of the history of Italian humanist institutions, it also uses available sources to demonstrate the development of a new attitude to education in Italy Analysis History Humanities, general Classical Studies Regional and Cultural Studies Cultural Heritage Education (general) Humanities / Arts cultureel onderzoek cultural research geschiedenis geesteswetenschappen humanities kunst arts onderwijs education cultureel erfgoed Arts (General) Kunst (algemeen) Notes "This book is the newly revised and expanded English edition of my doctoral thesis, written in the German language, accepted by the philosophical faculty of the Julius-Maximilians- University Würzburg in 1999, and published by Ergon in 1999 in the series Erziehung-Schule-Gesellschaft."--Acknowledgements, page v.
