Italian humanist Paolo Beni (1553-c.1625) won fame as a literary critic, a linguist, and a theologian, yet until now has not received full scholarly recognition. Based on a wealth of unpublished material, this first comprehensive study of Beni tells the story of his life, reassesses his major writings, and places him in his historical context, calling into question many long-standing assumptions about the transitional period between the Renaissance and Baroque eras.Diffley, P. B. is the author of 'Paolo Beni', published 1988 under ISBN 9780198158554 and ISBN 0198158556.
