{"product_id":"on-the-donation-of-constantine-lorenzo-valla-9780674030893","title":"On the Donation of Constantine","description":"Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457) was the leading theorist of the Renaissance humanist movement and the author of major works on Latin style, scholastic logic, and other topics. In \u003ci\u003eOn the Donation of Constantine\u003c\/i\u003e he uses new philological methods to attack the authenticity of the most important document justifying the papacy's claims to temporal rule, in a brilliant analysis that is often seen as marking the beginning of modern textual criticism. Widely translated throughout Europe during the Reformation, the work was placed on the Church's Index of Prohibited Books. This volume provides a new translation with introduction and notes by G. W. Bowersock, commissioned for the I Tatti Renaissance Library, along with a translation of the Donation of Constantine document itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorenzo Valla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674030893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674030893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.50d","brand":"Lorenzo Valla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054244393215,"sku":"9780674030893","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6608eb95-07ff-4ae6-bd0d-9d0f1db6d99e.jpg?v=1685028847","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-donation-of-constantine-lorenzo-valla-9780674030893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
