 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Coluccio di Pierio di Salutati
Salutati's life was filled chiefly by political and administrative matters; thus he was led to write several works against the Duke of Milan.
Salutati's manuscripts are rather rare in libraries because taste changed suddenly with regard to Latin style.
Salutati's activity was exercised under two especially fruitful forms: he received and guided young men very well; Poggio was treated by him as his son; he protected Bruni, and welcomed with enthusiasm Manuel Chrysoloras, whose arrival at Florence in 1396 was the great event of the Renaissance at the end of the fourteenth century.

The second generation was led by Coluccio Salutati (1331-1406), chancellor of Florence 1375-1406 and a disciple of Petrarch.
Salutati introduced the teaching of Greek into Florence, encouraged the discovery and copying of manuscripts, and pioneered in writing elegant letters which were copied all over Europe.
Leonardo Bruni (1370-1444), who served sometime after Salutati as Chancellor of Florence (1427-44), was among the best students of the Greek teacher Manuel Chrysoloras (1350-1415), who was brought to Florence by Salutati and taught Greek there for three years, 1397-1400.

The most famous in the former group, and the person often acknowledged as a founding figure of humanism, was Petrarch (1304-1374), and the most famous representative of the latter group was Coluccio Salutati (1331-1406).
Salutati was more typical of the early humanists that followed in the path that Petrarch had set down, that is, in recovering the literature of antiquity.
Salutati and others followed the model Petrarch had set down and used their positions to disseminate classical culture and apply it to civic government and education.

 Christian Humanism
By the late 14th century, the term studia humanitatis ("humanistic studies") had come to mean a well-defined cycle of education, including the study of grammar, rhetoric, history, poetry, and moral philosophy, based on Latin authors and classical texts.
Key in ensuring the permanence of humanism after Petrarch's initial success was the Florentine chancellor Coluccio Salutati (1331-1406), who wrote many learned treatises and kept up a massive correspondence with his literary contemporaries.
Salutati, together with his younger follower Leonardo Bruni (1369-1444), used the studia humanitatis as the basis for a life of active service to state and society.

The Tuscan vernacular that had been established by Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio was inhibited by a strong return to Latin in the 15th cent.
Coluccio Salutati, Lorenzo Valla, Marsilio Ficino, and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola were among the writers and scholars who sought to return to the fonts of classical antiquity for inspiration and guidance in matters of language, literary style, moral instruction, and simply a new vision of the relation of humanity to its surroundings and to God.
When the vernacular began to be used again in the late 15th cent., poetic language and tastes had been refined by the values of humanist learning.

Coluccio Salutati, in particolar modo, ha fatto parte dell’umanesimo “civile”, che è il risultato della fusione tra il ceto dirigente mercantile e il notaio-cancelliere con formazione retorica.
FABIO Dal punto di vista morale, l’umanesimo rappresenta un pericolo, perché manifesta un eccessivo entusiasmo per le opere classiche e in questo è una minaccia per il cristianesimo.

For this purpose, the Declamatio Lucretie of Coluccio Salutati is put in context of his other writings.
By projecting his own norms of human behavior and those of contemporary Florence, Salutati turns to Lucretia to illustrate the power of the Florentine republic as well as the conjugal life of a scholar.
This projection, however, is not subject to further questioning since Salutati can count on a similar educational background and moral standards of those in his environment.

 Italian Renaissance Art: Humanism & Philosophical Background: Neoplatonism, Ficino and Pico
Although he is known in the present age primarily for his poetry, particularly his Italian sonnets to Laura, Francesco Petrarca, or Petrarch, in his own time was primarily known for his work in discovering and disseminating classical literature as well as his works in Latin and his imitations of classical literature, such as his letters.
Like Petrarch, Salutati was not involved in education but was one of the originary figures in that educational movement we would eventually call humanism.
It has been stressed over and over again that humanism was neither a philosophy nor a movement, but an educational curriculum.

Drawing on the letters of Cicero et alia to illustrate his barbed letters and speeches about GG (he was clearly a bit of a Churchill), he so kept up the morale of the general public, preaching the gospel of Florence’s Republican beginnings—under Julius Caesar’s Rome—that the team spirit didn’t fail.
So, Salutati’s case in favour of the studying of, and then developing the knowledge so gained from, the classics had been, in actuality, made for him.
Salutati died in 1406, but by that time he had collected around him a number of “bright young men,” who were more than ready to carry further his humanist pursuits.
