Some Unedited Writings of Lauro Quirini and a catalogue of his works

2023 - LYSA Publishers

P. 487-533

  • The Quattrocento humanist and Venetian nobleman Lauro Quirini has long been the subject of specialized scholarly studies because of his interest to students of Renaissance philosophy, political theory, translations, Neo-Latin and Italian literature, manuscripts, the sociology and politics of learning, and the historiography of the fall of Constantinople. We lack, however, an up-to-date bibliography of his writings. Moreover, although his largest writings have been published, there still exists in manuscript a group of his minora yet to be edited. Consequently, the purpose of this paper is to provide the needed bibliography and to edit these remaining unedited writings. In the process, it attempts to resolve some confusions connected with Quirini's life and writings. [Publisher's text]
