	Baldassare Castiglione Summary
		The Italian author, courtier, and diplomat Baldassare Castiglione (1478-1529) is known primarily for his "Book of the Courtier." This work, which portrays the ideal courtier, was a chief vehicle in spreading Italian humanism into England and France.
		The courtier should be noble, witty, pleasant, agile, a horseman and a warrior (his principal profession), and devoted to his prince.
		In 1528, the year before his death, the book by which he is most famous, The Book of the Courtier (Il Cortegiano), was published in Venice by Andrea d'Asolo (father-in-law of Aldus Manutius).

	courtier (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Castiglione's work is a book of etiquette, a guide for the courtier seeking the favor of the king in whose court he served.
		In the relatively static social and economic structure of the medieval period, one cannot imagine the need for a book such as this.
		However, with the new social mobility of the renaissance, courtiers such as Polonius, Laertes, Voltimand, Cornelius, and Osric would have studied Castiglione's writing carefully, for they were eager to improve their positions by gaining whatever favors the king chose to award to them.

		As the subject of Baldassare Castiglione¹s influential Book of the Courtier, it was a simultaneous reflection of the Renaissance man as a graceful performer and a superficial manipulator.
		As Robert Hanning says, ³Castiglione stands as the truest reflection of the complicated cultural phenomenon and historical moment we call the High Renaissance.² The Book of the Courtier was a portrait of an exclusive society which subscribed to the values cherished in antiquity itself, and its purpose and structure mirrored that of the classical thinkers.
		The structure of the book is similar to Plato¹s dialogues, consisting in a series of speeches at a gathering of friends.

		This book is a wonderful treatise on the correct way for a courtier to behave in Renaissance Italy, and indeed in court life in general throughout Western Europe.
		Many of Castiglione's rules of behavior were applicable for the English or French courtier as well, so by no means should we look at this work as applying merely to Italian court life.
		Castiglione's "Courtier" is one of many books outlining protocol and proper behavior of the sophisticated elite.

		Uniting these arguments was a belief in the power of speech to distinguish the "vulgar" from "noble men of letters." The "civil conversation" of the educated noble evidenced itself not only in the content of his address but also in its form.
		Book prefaces in particular habitually distinguished patterns of address along the lines of social class.
		The ever-popular emblem books, the use of hieroglyphics in elite ceremonial, and the bizarries Academicians cultivated in their published poetry (which often included acrostics and inverted letter patterns) drew nourishment from this penchant for the inaccessible (see Illustration 5).
