Renaissance Essays
Fifteen classic essays illuminate a broad cross-section of the intellectual history of the Renaissance. The Journal of the History of Ideashas, over the years, published many important articles on the Renaissance; this selection provides a significant index of American scholarship in the field in the first twenty-five years of the journal's publication. Apart from the quality of the papers, the main criterion of selection has been their diversity. The editors aimed to present a broad cross-section of the intellectual history of the Renaissance, and have on the whole preferred comprehensive rather than monographic studies. The so-called problem of the Renaissance is represented by FERGUSON; the historical thought of the period by WEISINGER, BARON, and REYNOLDS; its social, moral and religious thought by ADAMS, RICE and TRINKAUS; humanism by GRAY; philsophy and science by CASSIRER, RANDALL and BOUWSMA; literature by TUVE; the visual artsby SCHAPIRO; and music by LOWINSKY. First published 1968.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1874.
Leonardo The Boy Wonder
Leonardo Da Vinci was a child prodigy whose development can be traced from age five to the beginning of his adolesence, two years before he entered Verrocchio’s workshop. In a stunning visual exploration, John Holgate offers a guided tour of Leonardo’s boyhood from 1457 to 1464 using possible paintings, drawings, and sculptures from the artist’s younger years to identify the main personages who influenced his early life. The seeds of his future genius can be glimpsed in his initial depictions of animals and family members, early landscapes and folksy Vinci cameos, Madonnas and biblical scenes, a moving portrayal of Albiera di Amadori and her daughter, the dramatic seascape of the beleaguered carracks in the Port of Naples, a witty Donatello sketch, and the poignant double portrait of the Renaissance giants, Alberti and Toscanelli. Through the magic of digital photography, Leonardo Da Vinci, the Boy Wonder leads art aficionados back into the hidden childhood of a Renaissance maestro to rediscover the origins of his genius.
