Extract

First of all, in the way of texts, our period lags behind the medieval period in production of modern editions. There have been few recent editions of Renaissance philosophical texts, moreover, to equal the high standard set by Richard LeMay with Pomponazzi's De Fato. But there have been facsimile reproductions, such as those of the Opera of Ficino and Valla, very useful for scholars who do not have access to the larger libraries. And we have the promise of editions of Valla's Dialectica (Zippel) and of his De voluptate, or rather De vero bono (De Panizza Lorch). The Campanella edition continues to come out in Italy. Dozens of interesting Renaissance philosophical texts are reproduced in the Manuscripta series of microfilms (cf. List No. 39, for example): these represent a very worth-while investment for smaller libraries willing to support Renaissance research.
