Descrição
Resumo:The Pope's wrath and the black legend 1 -- Court culture and the Renaissance in Rimini -- The Greek Renaissance and the return of the Paideia -- An ancient hero on Renaissance battlefields -- Astrology, Plato, and pagan worship -- Pagan sex and heroic virtue -- Questioning virtue in Malatesta literature -- Sigismondo's peril and defiance -- Conclusion: the pagan Renaissance.
In 1462 Pope Pius II performed the only reverse canonization in history, damning a living man to an afterlife of torment. What had Sigismondo Malatesta, Lord of Rimini and a patron of the arts, done to merit this fate? Anthony D'Elia shows how the recovery of classical literature and art during the Italian Renaissance led to a revival of paganism.--
