Abstract

The following translation bases on a critical reading of the Florentine manuscript, in comparison with its transcriptions published by Cesare Guasti and Eugenio Garin. It is part of a larger project: A critical edition of all four vitae by Anja Goeing and Sabine Schmolinsky, with translations into German (Goeing, Schmolinsky) and English (James Astorga) is in preparation. Square brackets […] indicate inserts by the translator, either comments, folio numbers of the Florentine manuscript, or the original Latin word. The latter was necessary for the terms “humanitas”, “disciplina”, and “bonae artes”, for which a literal translation deemed impossible without losing part of the original content.
