Description
Excerpt from Vittorino Da Feltre and Other Humanist Educators; Essays and Versions: An Introduction to the History of Classical Education
In this difference is implied a constant process in which the ideal of the greater Humanists was Slowly narrowed and hardened till it reaches the pedantry which rouses the scorn of Montaigne. It is not merely that the Latinity Of Vergerius or Guarino was freer and less artificial, nor that with them literature was something more than a sequence of model passages: the scholars Of the first half Of the Quattrocento had a far broader grasp Of the true content of education, and with it a more sincere conception of the relation between the antique and the modern world.
