<p>This volume is based on an international colloquium held at the Warburg Institute, London, on 21–2 June 2013, and entitled ‘Philosophy and Knowledge in the Renaissance: Interpreting Aristotle in the Vernacular’. It situates and explores vernacular Aristotelianism in a broad chronological context, with a geographical focus on Italy. The disciplines covered include political thought, ethics, poetics, rhetoric, logic, natural philosophy, cosmology, meteorology and metaphysics; and among the genres considered are translations, popularizing commentaries, dialogues and works targeted at women. The wide-ranging and rich material presented in the volume is intended to stimulate scholars to develop this promising area of research still further.</p><p>Table of Contents:</p><p>Preface (pp. ix–x)</p><p>Introduction (pp. 1–5)<br> <i>Luca Bianchi, Simon Gilson and Jill Kraye</i></p><p>Giles of Rome’s <i>De regimine principum</i> and the Vernacular Translations: The Reception of the Aristotelian Tradition and the Problem of Courtesy (pp. 7–29)<br> <i>Fiammetta Papi</i></p><p>Uses of Latin Sources in Renaissance Vernacularization of Aristotle: The Case of Galeazzo Florimonte, Francesco Venier and Francesco Pona (pp. 31–55)<br> <i>Luca Bianchi</i></p><p>Alessandro Piccolomini’s Mission: Philosophy for Men and Women in their Mother Tongue (pp. 57–73)<br> <i>Letizia Panizza</i></p><p>Francesco Robortello on Popularizing Knowledge (75–92)<br> <i>Marco Sgarbi</i></p><p>Aristotelian Commentaries and the Dialogue Form in Cinquecento Italy (pp. 93–107)<br> <i>Eugenio Refini</i></p><p>Aristotle’s <i>Politics</i> in the <i>Dialogi della morale filosofia</i> of Antonio Brucioli (pp. 109–122)<br> <i>Grace Allen</i></p><p>‘The best works of Aristotle’: Antonio Brucioli as a Translator of Natural Philosophy (pp. 123–138)<br> <i>Eva Del Soldato</i></p><p>Vernacular Meteorology and the Antiquity of the Earth in Medieval and Renaissance Italy (pp. 139–159)<br> <i>Ivano Dal Prete</i></p><p>Vernacularizing Meteorology: Benedetto Varchi’s <i>Comento sopra il primo libro delle Meteore d’Aristotile</i> (pp. 161–181)<br> <i>Simon Gilson</i></p><p>Bartolomeo Beverini (1629–1686) e una versione inedita della <i>Metafisica</i> di Aristotele (pp. 183–208)<br> <i>Corinna Onelli</i></p><p>Index of Manuscripts and Incunables (p. 209)</p><p> Index of Names (pp. 210–216)</p>
