I wish to express my deep appreciation of the invaluable aid I have received from Dr. Gino Corti of Florence in finding, transcribing and interpreting unpublished materials in the libraries and archives of Tuscany, and also of the hospitality I received in September, 1972, at the Villa I Tatti, the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence, from the Director, Prof. Myron P. Gilmore, his wife, the Fellows and the staff.

The best work in English is by Iris Origo, The World of San Bernardino (New York, 1962) rich in quotations from the sources and equipped with extensive bibliography.

No translation exists but for a study with copious paraphrasing, see Vincent J. Horkan, Educational Theories and Principles of Maffeo Vegio (Wash., D.C., 1953).

10. The influence of Plutarch’s treatise on education, translated by Guarino of Verona in 1411, and of the recovery of the complete text of Quintilian’s works a few years later, is discussed in the classic account of W. H. Woodward, Vittorino da Feltre and Other Humanist Educators (Cambridge, England, 1897; reprinted with an introduction by E. F. Rice, New York, 1970), pp. 25-27 and passim. Plutarch stresses the emotional benefits of maternal nursing, saying, “this fellowship in feeding is a bond that knits kindliness together”; see Moralia, with English translation by F. C. Babbitt (Loeb Classical Library, Cambridge, 1927), I, 15-17.

Battaglia (Bologna, 1944), p. 13, who explicitly mentions “custom”; and, echoing them, the merchant-humanist Giovanni Rucellai (d. 1481), Il Zibaldone Quaresimale, ed. A.
