Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the life and works of Johannes von Ravensburg, a pivotal figure in the late medieval revival of classical learning and the spread of humanist thought. The author traces von Ravensburg's journey from his early years as a student of the famed humanist Enea Silvio Piccolomini (later Pope Pius II) to his influential role as a teacher and scholar at the University of Florence. Through an in-depth analysis of von Ravensburg's writings and correspondence, the book sheds light on the intellectual currents of the time and the challenges faced by humanists in the face of resistance from traditional academic institutions. By situating von Ravensburg within the broader context of the Renaissance, the author demonstrates the profound impact of his work on the revival of classical scholarship and the dissemination of new ideas that would shape the intellectual landscape of Europe for centuries to come.
