Agricola's 15th-century works have been viewed as contributing to the dissemination of classical Greek thought to humanist Italy and beyond. In ascribing the same role to his letters, the editors (U. of Groningen) introduce 51 letters by him and four to him. Indexed by name, Latin and Greek term, quotation, and letter correspondent/ date. Includes a glossary of Latin words he variously spelled, a quantitative case for the letters' prose rhythms, and illustrations. Based on Van der Lann's 1998 thesis. Annotation c.
