On Dec. 15, Timothy Kircher, H. Curt ’56 and Patricia S. ’57 Hege Professor of History, presented “Humanist Conversations: The Creative Range of Renaissance Dialogues,” as part of a lecture series at the Kunsthistorisches Institut / Max Planck Institut in Florence. A recording of his talk is available at this link.
Tim also recently published an article, “Cultura come cura: Lo scambio epistolare da Petrarca agli umanisti del Quattrocento [Culture as Care: The Exchange of Letters from Petrarch to Fifteenth-Century Humanists],” in Atti e Memorie dell’Accademia Petrarca di Lettere, Arti e Scienze. The article is based on a lecture he gave at the Accademia Petrarca in Arezzo last December.
This work is part of an ongoing research project that demonstrates the critical contemporary importance of Renaissance humanism.
