THE FLORENTINE ENLIGHTENMENT 1400-50

The first half of the fifteenth century in Florence saw a revolu-
tionary; development in art and thought which paved the Way
for the great achievements of the later Renaissance. A new
approach to political philosophy, history, art and architecture
was inspired by the teaching and the writings of a group of hu-
manist thinkers: men like Leonardo Bruni and Leon Battista Alberti.

Many of the humanists were closely involved in both Floren-
tine and papal politics but they consistently rejected the old
medieval values and embraced strongly secular ideals derived
from their intense appreciation and study of the classical world.
Dr. Holmes examines the ideas of the humanists as expressed in
their books, letters, and in the comments of their contem-
poraries. He shows that these ideas radically influenced the
writing of history, political philosophy and aesthetics.
