Make some supplementary remarks to my ‘rapport'. By supplementation I understand less an expansion in subject matter than in method, as follows. It is relatively easy to set up programmatic demands. It is much more difficult to show by examples how these demands are to be met. With what ease it is said, for example, that research has yet been too little concerned with the reception of Isocrates in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But how is this to be done? How to get beyond mere bibliography, beyond establishment of printings to a penetration of the ideas and an evaluation of the facts?
These remarks supplement the paper ‘Zur Problematik humanistischer Erziehungsschriften: Textforschung und Menschenbild’ which Professor Herding read at the meeting of the Federation Internationale des Instituts d'Histoire de la Renaissance in Vienna 1965 and which is printed in the Rapports of the XIIe Congres International des Sciences Historiques (Wien, 1965), III, 87-93.
1 More extensive evidence for the reception of Isocrates will be found in ‘Isocrates, Erasmus und die Institutio principis Christiani', Festschrift fur Kurt v. Raumer (Miinster/ Westf., 1966). On Erasmus and Wimpfeling see the introduction to my edition of Wimpfeling's Adokscentia (München, 1965). I therefore confine myself to the text which I read at the congress in Vienna and give only a minimum of examples.
