  casti2_1 - Baldessar Castiglione - Il Cortegiano - Libro 2 - [1]
Però il governarsi bene in questo parmi che consista in una certa prudenzia e giudicio di elezione, e conoscere il piú e 'l meno che nelle cose si accresce e scema per operarle oportunamente o fuor di stagione.
E benché il cortegian sia di cosí bon giudicio che possa discernere queste differenzie, non è però che piú facile non gli sia conseguir quello che cerca essendogli aperto il pensiero con qualche precetto e mostratogli le vie e quasi i lochi dove fondar si debba, che se solamente attendesse al generale.
Il medesimo dico del danzare; perché in vero questi esercizi si deono lasciare prima che dalla età siamo sforzati a nostro dispetto lasciargli.

 §13. "Il Cortegiano" of Castiglione. XIX. English Universities, Schools and Scholarship in the Sixteenth Century. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Il Cortegiano of Castiglione, 5 translated by Hoby as The Courtier (1561), is, of course, much more than a treatise on the up-bringing of youth, but, as presenting a picture of the “perfect man” of the renascence, it had an undoubted, if indirect, effect on higher education in England.
Il Cortegiano speedily became cosmopolitan in its vogue.
It is less strictly confined to the courtly ideal than Castiglione’s Il Cortegiano; its gentlemen of Anjou discourse together of the means by which all estates of men may live courteously, happily and with true dignity.

 How Castiglione Read Cicero. by Jennifer Richards.
Il cortegiano is not prescriptive; it does not yield up its meaning to a selective reader.
That is, the basis of Il cortegiano's popularity seems to rest in part on its provision of practise in idiomatic and conversational Italian, Latin, English, and French, not just its teaching of the arts of dissembling required at the autocratic European courts.
Cox describes Il cortegiano as "a genuinely dialogical use of the dialogue" which is influenced by De oratore (59).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Baldassare Castiglione
His fame, however, mainly rests on his "Cortegiano" (Courtier), a work in four books, describing the accomplishments and moral character of the ideal courtier.
A truly representative son of the Renaissance, he exhibited in his "Courtier" brilliant classical scholarship and exquisite taste, combined with a keen spirit of observation and noble conceptions.
As a result, "Il Cortegiano" gradually acquired a world-wide reputation, and was translated into a dozen languages, including Japanese.

Il modulo intende studiare uno dei capolavori della letteratura cinquecentesca italiana, Il libro del Cortegiano di Baldassar Castiglione.
Al tempo stesso si prende in esame la tradizione quattrocentesca del genere trattatistico, nella variante specialmente dedicata ai comportamenti sociali: profondamente legato a questo filone, il Cortegiano riesce peraltro a modificarlo profondamente, inaugurando a sua volta una ricchissima produzione di trattati sul comportamento che fiorisce in tutto il Cinquecento italiano ed europeo.
Il modulo esamina inoltre brevemente, a scopo introduttivo, la produzione letteraria complessiva di Castiglione (soprattutto la poesia latina e volgare) e la sua parabola biografica.

 "A wanton trade of living"? Rhetoric, Effeminacy, and the Early Modern Courtier Criticism - Find Articles
What is puzzling is that English Protestants should be interested in a text which prescribes the kind of rhetorical sleights and effeminate manners they elsewhere treat with such suspicion.
One explanation is that Il cortegiano offers a code of conduct suitable to the centralized Elizabethan court, and that the apparent "effeminization" of the male feudal elite it fosters, while clearly perceived by us, is not by them.
Whereas Hoby seems to envisage Il cortegiano as a key to the ennoblement or civilization of his compatriots,(8) to us it only signals their unmanning: their accommodation to an increasingly centralized court.

 M. McGrath: Review of Castells, Fernando de Rojas and the Renaissance Vision
In Chapter V, titled "Castiglione's Il cortegiano and the Depiction of Sensual Love in Celestina," Castells utilizes Castiglione's Il cortegiano to further define and explain Calisto's behavior.
The author refutes those critics who describe Calisto as a parodic character and cites as evidence Castiglione's description of Renaissance inamorati, according to which the person who suffers this malady is not capable of reason because of uncontrollable sensual desires.
The description of inamorati given by the character of the poet Pietro Bembo at the end of Il cortegiano provides the most complete explanation of Calisto's behavior.
