	Villa I Tatti
		The Berenson Library is a major resource for research on the late Middle Ages and Renaissance in Italy.
		Thoroughly interdisciplinary in character and increasingly comprehensive, the library possesses an extensive collection mainly of published materials in the history, fine and applied arts, music, literature, science, religion, and philosophy of Italy from circa 1200 to 1650, a rich collection of international scholarly journals, and an exceptional repository of visual materials on Italian Renaissance art.
		The library also has substantial holdings in the fields of classical studies and archaeology, medieval studies, the Mediterranean region, Renaissance Europe, and Asian and Islamic art and archaeology, as well as a noteworthy collection of historical and current art auction catalogs.

		This is the fourth volume of the I Tatti Renaissance Library project of reediting Marsilio Ficino's Platonic Theology, thus superseding Raymond Marcel's pioneering edition and French translation published in 1964-1970.
		It includes some of the most important Renaissance texts on the immortality of the soul and on the concepts of theurgy, phantasy and vacatio.
		The I Tatti project represents a major contribution to Renaissance studies, as it becomes increasingly necessary to produce reliable editions and translations of works of the Italian Renaissance written in Latin.

	The I Tatti Renaissance Library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The I Tatti Renaissance Library is a book series published by the Harvard University Press, which aims to present important works of Renaissance Latin Literature to a modern audience by printing the original Latin text on each left-hand leaf, and an English translation on the facing page.
		The books of The I Tatti Renaissance Library have a consistent appearance: a pale blue cover, analogous to the red (Latin) or green (Greek) books in the Loeb Classical Library.
		A typeface named "ITRL" was specially designed for the series, and is based on the work of Renaissance typographer Nicolas Jenson.

	Harvard Gazette: Mellon recognizes I Tatti editions
		The I Tatti Renaissance Library (ITRL) has received a grant of $1.2 million from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to continue producing bilingual editions of important Latin writings from the 14th to the 16th centuries.
		Since then, the ITRL has published an average of four volumes per year, with 23 titles now in print and between four and six more scheduled for the spring of 2007.
		With the help of the Mellon grant, ITRL plans to publish approximately 150 volumes by 2026, a fairly ambitious goal considering that the Loeb Library recently published its 500th volume and has been at it since 1910.

	ITRL/The I Tatti Renaissance Library
		I am delighted to announce, on behalf of Harvard University Press and Harvard's Center for Italian Renaissance Studies (the "Villa I Tatti"), the launch of a new dual-language text series that is going to revolutionize the field of Renaissance studies.
		The goal of the I Tatti series is to raise this lost continent of literature to the surface once more and allow students and scholars to explore its hidden treasures.
		They will make it possible for general readers, for the first time, to acquire a sense of what the high literary culture of the Renaissance was all about, and to enrich their understanding of the artistic life of this most creative period of Western culture.

		The mission statement of I Tatti Renaissance Library is heartening.
		The I Tatti Renaissance Library promises to provide in each of its issues "a reliable Latin text" along with "an accurate, readable English translation," accompanied by introductory material, bibliography and index: in other words, the ideal point of entrance for the scholar -- and the general reader -- exploring unknown literary territory.
		Each of the Renaissance playwrights has in his own way compromised the classicist's expectations of what a comedy should be.

	The New York Review of Books: Rediscovering a Lost Continent
		The I Tatti series is already beginning to transform the study and teaching of Renaissance culture.
		Thanks to the I Tatti library, students can now examine at first hand the tapestry of the Florentine past that Bruni wove so deftly from ancient historians, medieval chronicles, and official documents—a key document for Baron and his critics alike.
		Scattered through bookstores and libraries, assigned in courses and recommended in conversations, they will infect readers for generations to come with the historical sense and political cynicism, the skepticism and the idealism, and the unflagging love of Latin of the Renaissance humanists.

	I Tatti Renaissance Library
		The Villa I Tatti Institute is dedicated to scholarship and the exchange of ideas in a variety of disciplines within Italian Renaissance studies.
		Bruni (1370-1444), the leading civic humanist of the Italian Renaissance, served as apostolic secretary to four popes and chancellor of Florence (1427-1444).
		A product of its Renaissance Italian and, in particular, Florentine context, it is a bold, sophisticated attempt to appropriate the therapeutic tradition in ancient philosophy for the intellectuals, the forward wits of the Florentine Republic, and its governing elites.

		Anthony D’Elia works on the Italian Renaissance, specializing in humanism, the history of the classical tradition, neo-Latin literature, rhetoric and political propaganda.
		By focusing on ideas about marriage and the biographies of writers this book studies the ways that intellectuals in the Renaissance conceived of themselves, their families, and the society in which they lived.
		He is translating Bartolomeo Platina's History of the Popes (De vita Christi ac omnium pontificum (1473)) for the I Tatti Renaissance Library at Harvard University Press.

	Rereading the Renaissance - Harvard Magazine (March-April 2006)
		Now the ITRL’s pale-blue covers have become synonymous with neo-Latin literature, which began in the fourteenth century with the revival of classical learning that sparked the Italian Renaissance.
		Hankins notes that “Renaissance Latin is terra incognita still,” and the ITRL has enabled many new explorers to see “the fauna and flora that dwell on...the ‘lost continent’ of Renaissance Latin literature.” Other fields, too, are benefiting from the series’ rediscoveries.
		Alberti is best known as the Italian Renaissance’s leading theorist of art and architecture: the first to give a mathematical definition of the laws of perspective and to revive the classical aesthetic of Vitruvius.

	Later Latin at UCLA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance are responsible for the bulk of surviving literature in Latin, of which the texts usually studied in departments of Classics are only a tiny part.
		Nevertheless, the study of later Latin seldom has a clear home in American universities, where, for the post-classical world, an emphasis on the literatures of the modern languages has yielded fairly systematic neglect.
		There are signs that this is changing; among these is the success of the I Tatti Renaissance Library, to which three UCLA professors have contributed volumes.

		The possible contemporary resonance of Alberti's satire--read variously as a humanist roman-à-clef and as a veiled mockery of the mid-Quattrocento papacy--is among its most intriguing aspects.
		While his more famous books on architecture, painting, and family life have long been regarded as indispensable to a study of Renaissance culture, Momus has recently attracted increasing attention from scholars as a work anticipating the realism of Machiavelli and the satiric wit of Erasmus.
		This edition provides a new Latin text, the first to be based on the two earliest manuscripts, both corrected by Alberti himself, and includes the first full translation into English.
