[PU: Duke University Press], 455 p. Hardcover with dust jacket. Leichte Stauchung am Buchrücken, minimale Bleistiftmarkierungen im Vorsatz, minimale Bereibung auf dem Schutzumschlag. Sonst ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Light bumping to spine, minimal pencil markings to endpapers, minimal rubbing to dust jacket. Otherwise a very good and clean copy. - With two brief references in his De vita solitaria to the dilemma of Hercules at the crossroads, Petrarch reintroduced into Western Europe a long-forgotten episode in the ancient cycle of myths surrounding the demigod.1 Fascinated by the same anecdote, Coluccio Salutati devoted his most ambitious scholarly work, the De laboribus Herculis, to celebrat-ing in elaborate allegorical analyses the hero's election of the path of virtue and the courageous pursuit of good which earned him divinity. Before he could complete the writing, however, Salutati's commitment to the task of orienting nascent Italian humanism toward Christian goals became so impelling that it forced him to redefine the nature of the choices at the crossroads and to reassess the capacity of the viator to choose the proper way. When that occurred, the value of humanistic studies themselves came into question. A major objective of the follow-ing study is to describe the evolution of this Christian conception of the human predicament in Salutati's thought and its effects on his humanism. Part I.
