{"product_id":"pier-paolo-vergerio-and-the-guy-r-mermier-9780820437873","title":"Pier Paolo Vergerio and the «Paulus», a Latin Comedy","description":"Pier Paolo Vergerio (c. 1370-1444) was an important humanist of the early Italian Renaissance. His educational treatise, \u003ci\u003eDe ingenuis moribus\u003c\/i\u003e, was the most influential Renaissance work on education before Erasmus. His comic play, the \u003ci\u003ePaulus\u003c\/i\u003e, written in the 1390s, is the earliest extant Latin humanist comedy, a genre that combined elements of Roman and contemporary comedy. It is a cautionary tale about the dangers of wild living for a student of the liberal arts. This book features the first English translation of the \u003ci\u003ePaulus\u003c\/i\u003e. Preceding the translation is a thorough biography of Vergerio. Background material on the play's date and on staging the play is also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy R.
