1536 De Remediis by Petrarch | Philosophy Humanism Dialogues Venice Latin

“Books have led some to learning and others to madness.”

― Francesco Petrarch

Petrarch was a 14^th-century Italian humanist known for his discovery of the letters of Cicero and establishment of the study of humanism. He wrote sonnets and poems, many of which were the model of poetry during the Dark Ages. At the end of Petrarch’s life, he completed a collection of wisdom and philosophical dialogues known as “De Remediis”.

These dialogues were written to instruct readers on happiness, humility, and wealth. Other topics include Petrarch’s views on Augustinian moral theology in conjunction with opposing God’s love and self-love (Lee, Petrarch and Augustine, p. 249).

This 1536 edition of Petrarch’s “De Remediis” was published in Venice.
