Entre los siglos XIV y XVII el huamnismo jugo un papel primordial en el desarrollo de la cultura europea. En sus inicios, el movimiento se caracterizo por la voluntad de recuperar, interpretar e imitar los textos de la Antiguedad grecorromana, asi como por el estudio de sus restos arqueologicos; poco tardo, sin embargo, en activar un ambicioso programa cultural que influyo en casi todas las facetas que componen la vida intelectual del Renacimiento. Los doce trabajos ineditos que integran este volumen cubren todo ese espectro: desde la ensenanza de las artes del lenguaje hasta la revolucion de la ciencia moderna, desde la huella que dejo en los estudios biblicos hasta su impronta en al artes y en la literatura de su tiempo, desde sus origenes en Italia hasta su efecto en la Espana renacentista."

Este libro del Dr. Salatiel P. López nos introduce en el pensamiento de Juan Calvino de una forma profunda y amena; dándonos a entender que Calvino, al igual que el resto de nosotros, "somos afectados por fuerzas y circunstancias históricas que influyen sobre nuestro desarrollo personal, intelectual y espiritual de manera significativa. Además de aquellas características individuales que nos distinguen de las otras personas, y además de aquellos factores providenciales singulares en que Dios opera de manera específica en nuestras vidas, recibimos el impacto y la influencia de factores, circunstancias y personajes de la época en que vivimos, y que contribuyen a moldear nuestra existencia, nuestro carácter y nuestra manera de pensar". This book by Dr. Salatiel P. López introduces us to the thought of Juan Calvino in a deep and enjoyable manner. It makes the reader understand that all of us, like Calvin, "are affected by forces and historical circumstances that influence our personal, intellectual and spiritual development in a meaningful way. In addition to those individual characteristics that distinguish us from other people, and in addition to those singular providential factors that God works in a specific way in our lives, we receive the impact and influence of factors, circumstances and people of the era in which we live. And these elements contribute to mold our existence, our character, and our way of thinking."

This book tells the comprehensive history of cosmography from the 15th Century Age of Discovery onward. During this time, cosmography—a science that combined geography and astronomy to inform us about our place in the universe—was deeply tied to ongoing developments in politics, exploration, culture, and technology. The book offers in-depth historical context over nearly four centuries, focusing in particular on the often neglected role that Portugal and Spain played in the development of cosmography. It details the great activity emerging from the Iberian and Italic peninsulas, including numerous voyagers of exploration, a clear commercial intention, and advancements in map-making techniques. In doing so, it provides a unique perspective on the “Longitude problem” not available in most other literature on the topic. Rigorously researched and sweeping in scope, this book will serve as an invaluable source for historians and readers interested in the history of science, of astronomy, and of exploration from a southern European perspective.

Jill Kraye, Professor Emerita of the Warburg Institute, is renowned internationally for her scholarship on Renaissance philosophy and humanism. This volume pays tribute to her achievements with essays by friends, colleagues, and doctoral students—all leading scholars—on subjects as diverse as her work. Articles on canonical figures such as Marsilio Ficino and Justus Lipsius mix with more quirky pieces on alphabetic play and the Hippocratic aphorisms. Many chapters seek to bridge the divide between humanism and philosophy, including David Lines's survey of the way fifteenth-century humanists actually defined philosophy and Brian Copenhaver's polemical essay against the concept of humanist philosophy. The volume includes a full bibliography of Professor Kraye's scholarly publications. Contributors are: Michael Allen, Daniel Andersson, Lilian Armstrong, Stefan Bauer, Dorigen Caldwell, Brian Copenhaver, Martin Davies, Germana Ernst, Guido Giglioni, Robert Goulding, Anthony Grafton, James Hankins, J. Cornelia Linde, David Lines, Margaret Meserve, John Monfasani, Anthony Ossa-Richardson, Jan Papy, Michael Reeve, Alessandro Scafi, and William Stenhouse.
