About
"Examining a rich and diverse selection of treatises, poems, and other works of literature, Doctors, Ambassadors, Secretaries shows ultimately how interactions with these professions forced humanists to make their studies relevant to their own times. With detailed analyses of writings by familiar and lesser-known figures, from Petrarch, Machiavelli, and Tasso to Maggi, Fracastoro, and Barbaro, this book will especially interest students of Renaissance Italy, but also anyone concerned with the rise of professionalism during the early modern period."--BOOK JACKET.
