XXVIII. A Historical and Critical Introduction to an Enquiry into the Revival of the Greek Literature in Italy, after the Dark Ages

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  17 January 2013

Extract

A history of the revival of literature in Europe, after its extinction in the middle ages, has been long a desideratum in the annals of human knowledge; and from the wide, and almost untravelled field, which such a history would embrace, and the recondite sources of information which must be consulted, it will perhaps be long before any individual is found with sufficient learning to estimate its difficulties, and yet hardy enough to attempt to overcome them.
