This book revises the picture of the teacher and educator of princes, Vittorino Rambaldoni da Feltre (c. 1378, Feltre -- 1446, Mantua), taking a completely new approach to show his work and life from the individual perspectives created by his students and contemporaries. From 1423 to 1446, Vittorino da Feltre was in charge of a school in Mantua, where his students included not only the offspring of Italy’s princes, but also the first generation of authors dealing with books in print. Among his students were historians like Bartolomeo Sacchi (named Platina), who wrote an extensive history of the popes, and mathematicians like Jacopo Cassiano (Cremonensis), who translated the work of Archimedes from Greek into Latin. Vittorino is still regarded as the educationalist of Italian Renaissance humanism per sé. This work not only contributes to the study of the history of Italian humanist institutions, it also uses available sources to demonstrate the development of a new attitude to education in Italy.

Drawing on case studies from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries, covering Europe and beyond, Collectors’ Knowledge: What is Kept, What is Discarded investigates how knowledge was acquired, organized and sometimes lost. It examines collections of texts and objects—libraries, textbooks, miscellanies, commonplace books, data collections pertaining to historical events, encyclopedias, royal and ducal treasures, curiosity cabinets, galleries and museums—to uncover the processes of accumulation, organization, selection and rejection that have shaped learning. The essays emphasize the complex relationship between the intentions of collectors and the limitations they encountered—issues of format, presentation, display and storage—as well as outside forces that disrupted their aims, including pillage and natural disasters.

Entre le XVe et le XVIIe siècles prennent leur essor les hautes écoles, le gymnase protestant allemand et le collège jésuite, qui participent tous à la formation des élites de l'Europe moderne. Par ailleurs, les programmes universitaires agrègent les méthodes anciennes et nouvelles, humanistes et scolastiques. Il en résulte une explosion des outils de travail dont la production imprimée, et le manuel scolaire en particulier, témoignent par leur profusion et leur diversité. Scholarly Knowledge réunit, sous la direction d’Emidio Campi, Simone De Angelis, Anja-Silvia Goeing et Anthony T. Grafton, des études modèles pour l’histoire du livre académique à l’époque moderne.
