The Secret, Petrarch€™s autobiographical treatise translated here from the Latin, represents a \"humanist manifesto\" central to understanding European culture during the early modern period. Carol Quillen€™s introductory essay to this volume illuminates the development of humanist practices, Petrarch€™s role in the dissemination of humanist ideas, the importance of The Secret as a humanist text, and the enduring historical significance of the humanist tradition in Western thought and culture. Also included are several illustrations, a chronology, a selected bibliography, and questions for consideration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bedford\/St. Martin's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254368526389,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312154380","price":50.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312154387_9c2554aa-f35f-4313-bae1-cbf46218d0ac.jpg?v=1779957871","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-secret-9780312154387","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
