Poggio’s letter contains a brief treatise in praise of Florence and of the Florentina libertas. The documents illuminate a crucial episode in the history of Italian Humanism. The article opens with the discussion of these two letters in their wider historical and intellectual context: on the one hand, the characteristically Florentine «civic humanism» which constitutes the background of Poggio’s positions; on the other, the political and cultural competition between Florence and Milan during the first half of the 15th century. 2022-06-01T12:16:57Z 2022-06-01T12:16:57Z 2020 chapter ONIX_20220601_9788864539683_414 2704-6230 9788864539683 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/56231 eng Atti application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 14329.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/9788864539683_4 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-6453-968-3.04 10.36253/978-88-6453-968-3.04 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788864539683 38 24 Florence open access

This article presents the critical editions of two texts: a letter by the Duke of Milan Filippo Maria Visconti (but written on his behalf by Pier Candido Decembrio) sent to Poggio Bracciolini on 28 July 1438; and the response written by Poggio on 15 September. Poggio’s letter contains a brief treatise in praise of Florence and of the Florentina libertas. The documents illuminate a crucial episode in the history of Italian Humanism. The article opens with the discussion of these two letters in their wider historical and intellectual context: on the one hand, the characteristically Florentine «civic humanism» which constitutes the background of Poggio’s positions; on the other, the political and cultural competition between Florence and Milan during the first half of the 15th century.
