Book Synopsis The Debate Over the Origin of Genius During the Italian Renaissance by : Noel L. Brann
Book excerpt: This study explores a prominent Italian Renaissance theme, the origin of genius, revealing how the coalescence of a Platonic theory of divine frenzy and an Aristotelian theory of melancholy genius eventually disintegrated under the force of late Renaissance events.
