This book offers a detailed account of Italian Renaissance education in fifteenth-century Verona, one of the most influential contexts for the teaching of the humanae litterae when the transition from medieval Latin education to the Renaissance humanist curriculum first happened. It is a pathbreaking and methodologically exemplary study, up to date with the most recent Italian and Anglophone scholarship, balancing localized archival discoveries with broader interpretive frameworks. Drawing upon an extraordinary wealth of archival materials, the author reconstructs a nuanced portrait of teachers, institutions, and educational practices. The book's empirical rigor is matched by its theoretical sophistication. It not only sheds new light on a crucial period in the history of Italian education but also sets a new standard for the integration of archival research, historiographical reflection, and analytical clarity. Each chapter contributes uniquely to a coherent and compelling narrative. The result is a landmark contribution to both Renaissance studies and the history of education.
