Review
"The success of ^D The Cambridge History of Renaisance Philosophy ^U has fiven impetus to the production of this two volume anthology that contains forty new translations of important works on moral and political philosophy written during the Renaissance and previously unavailable in English. The anthology is designed to be used in conjunction with ^D The Cambrisge History of Renaissance Philosophy ^U, in which all of these texts are discussed. Each text is supplied with an introduction and a guide to further reading. These readable and fully annotated versions of a wide range of texts will enable serious readers of the history of philosophy to gain firsthand access to the ethical and political thought of the Renaissance which is still relatively under-appreciated." www.wordtrade.com/philosophy1
