Extract
A real event in Renaissance scholarship was the publication of Bernard Weinberg's monumental History of Literary Criticism in the Italian Renaissance, already reviewed in Renaissance News [xv, 215-217], Manuscripta, Italica, and elsewhere as a work that will stand for many a long year as the definitive treatment of the subject. Of the more than 400 documents studied, not less than 89 are in unpublished manuscripts, the vast majority being in humanistic Latin and all awaiting further research.
Most of the authors discussed by Weinberg are men who were also of the first importance in the history of classical scholarship. In that particular field, by far the most important production of the year is Deno John Geanakoplos' Greek Scholars in Venice (Harvard, 1962) [RN xv, 305–306]; this is not a rehash of old material but an independent investigation of the unfamiliar.
