McNair studies Landino's lecture notes, public orations, poetry, philosophical works and most popular commentaries to show how Landino's allegorical interpretations of Virgil and Dante grew in complexity as he studied philosophy and theology and how he understood Dante's Commedia as completing and surpassing Virgil's Aeneid. McNair also shows how Landino draws upon a wide range of thinkers such as Aristotle, Plato, Aquinas, Ficino, Argyropoulos and Bessarion, and how he incorporates his increasing knowledge of Plato into a scholastic framework and is better considered as a Dantean than a Neoplatonist.Medieval and Renaissance Authors and Texts21.Italian languageHistoryItalian languageItalienischItalian languageItalian language.Italienisch.457.02Mcnair Bruce1678333NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910820416103321Cristoforo Landino4045894UNINA
