Description
Vittorino da Feltre and other Humanist Educators: Essays and Versions by William Harrison Woodward. This Vintage Book was published by Cambridge at the University Press 1897 and is signed by the author.
From the Introduction:
The present volume is offered as an introduction to the study of the education of the first period of Renaissance, the century which followed the death of Petrarch. The work falls into three divisions. The first treats of the career of the Characteristic Humanist Schoolmaster Vittorino da Feltre. The second consists of four noteworthy treatises on education produced during this Period. Not now readily accessible to students. These are here presented in English versions. In the third section, I have aimed at setting forth a general review of education as conceived by humanist scholars.
