	Pietro Bembo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was born in Venice and while still a boy he accompanied his father to Florence, and there acquired a love for that Tuscan form of speech which he afterwards cultivated in preference to the dialect of his native city.
		Bembo, as a writer, is the beau ideal of a purist.
		Perhaps the most famous are a little treatise on Italian prose, and a dialogue entitled Gli Asolani, in which Platonic affection is explained and recommended in a rather longwinded fashion, to the amusement of the reader who remembers the relations of the beautiful Morosina with the author.

	1502, Venice: ALDUS MANUTIUS
		Bembo is most familiar outside of Italy for his Neoplatonic discourse on love in the last book of Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier, or for Titian's majestic portrait of him (1540) shortly after his elevation to the cardinalate.
		Bembo's linguistic and rhetorical reform of the Italian vernacular found its mature expression in his vernacular humanist manifesto Le prose della volgar lingua (1525), where the Venetian proposed the 14th-century classics Petrarch and Boccaccio as vernacular models for poetry and prose respectively, just as Virgil and Cicero served as humanist models for Latin eloquence.
		While Bembo's edition represented a radical improvement of the text from an objectively philological perspective, it also had the effect of revealing the distance between Dante and the rhetorical sensibilities of the High Renaissance, whose idol was increasingly the urbane and psychologically exquisite Petrarch.

	Two Renaissance Book Collectors
		Bembo himself copied one of the earliest books known to his collection while he was at the University of Padua.
		Bembo used his collection to become learned in the shared metaphors of a courtly culture that esteemed classical literature, as well as to display this knowledge publicly to advance his career and social standing.
		Just as the location of Bembo's books illustrated their function in his life, the location of Capranica's collection in his study at his main residence showed that his collection was immediately accessible for practical and applied use in his daily duties as cardinal.

		Pietro Bembo’s Latin poetry is worth studying in its own right and for how it reflects Bembo’s views on imitatio and aemulatio.
		Bembo expands the four verses of Propertius into a poem that contains other Propertian features, but while Bembo adheres on one level to a singel model the poem has a distinctly Ovidian tone.
		Bembo transforms the rustic Polyphemus of his epic poem into a figure that is still rustic and naive but has characteristics of the more sophisticated and learned lover poet of Latin elegy.

		Because of its general resemblance to the early self-portrait in Florence, this picture was for some time thought to be another self-portrait, while some scholars believed it to be the portrait of a young cardinal.

	Type Casting
		This superb example of an Italian Renaissance letterform was originally derived from ''De Aetna,'' a book by Pietro Bembo about his visit to Mount Etna, made in 1495 by the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius.
		The typeface was revived in the 1920's by Stanley Morison and christened Bembo.
		''Bembo's Zoo'' owes an inspirational debt to ''The Scarecrow,'' a 1925 children's book for adults by the avant-garde modernist designer-typographers Kurt Schwitters and Theo van Doesburg and the author Kate Steinitz, in which animated letterforms, used like stick figures, are both the characters and the props within a politically charged narrative.

		Bembo is feigned in Castiglione's Book of the Courtier to have delivered in Urbino a speech setting forth an elevated, Neoplatonic ideal of love.
		The communicative context of Bembo's 'Stanze' parallels that of Bembo's speech in The Book of the Courtier so closely that it is tempting to hypothesize that Castiglione framed the speech in The Book of the Courtier as a deliberate companion piece to the poem.
