Reviews
'A powerful history, cutting through the artificial line too-often drawn between Renaissance and Enlightenment to present one continuity, the quiet revolution underlying all the others: the slow, painstaking advance of the conviction that knowledge-seeking can and should be unending, unlimited, and open to everyone.' Ada Palmer, University of Chicago, 'Christopher Celenza brilliantly threads the needle to produce a portrait of Italian Renaissance humanism for our time. Deeply attentive to personal experiences and personal ties, he injects agency and emotion into the celebrated practice of classical and biblical philology, astutely examining figures who include Valla, Poliziano, Decembrio, and even Descartes. Celenza's enduring claim is that philology was and remains inextricably connected with philosophy.' Kristine Haugen, California Institute of Technology, 'An engrossing story about how modernity was born when it learned to read and write the word. The parallels between the Italian Renaissance and our contemporary present are stunning. As before, so now: information glut and a rapidly evolving mediascape are challenges that only a new investment in critical sense-making - 'philology,' broadly understood - can meet. Celenza's call for a reinvigorated culture of the humanities today is both historically rich and prescient. His book is sure to bring a new dimension to the debates about the uses and reach of culture today.' James I. Porter, University of California, Berkeley

Synopsis
Christopher Celenza is one of the foremost contemporary scholars of the Renaissance. His ambitious new book focuses on the body of knowledge which we now call the humanities, charting its roots in the Italian Renaissance and exploring its development up to the Enlightenment. Beginning in the fifteenth century, the author shows how thinkers like Lorenzo Valla and Angelo Poliziano developed innovative ways to read texts closely, paying attention to historical context, developing methods to determine a text's authenticity, and taking the humanities seriously as a means of bettering human life. Alongside such novel reading practices, technology - the invention of printing with moveable type - fundamentally changed perceptions of truth. Celenza also reveals how luminaries like Descartes, Diderot, and D'Alembert - as well as many lesser-known scholars - challenged traditional ways of thinking. Celenza's authoritative narrative demonstrates above all how the work of the early modern humanist philosophers had a profound impact on the general quest for human wisdom. His magisterial volume will be essential reading for all those who value the humanities and their fascinating history.und impact on the general quest for human wisdom.
