Spanish Humanism

From 2007, there are three chapters in John Jeffries Martin’s The Renaissance World that concern us. Anthony Grafton assesses José de Acosta’s place in humanist historiography, especially vis a vis Bodin, in José de Acosta: Renaissance historiography and New World humanity.” Katherine Elliot van Liere’s “‘Shared studies foster friendship’: humanism and history in Spain” looks at a network of 16th-century antiquarians, including Ambrosio de Morales, Antonio Agustín, Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, Diego de Covarrubias, Hernán Núñez de Guzmán, and Jerónimo de Zurita. Charles V plays an important role in Thomas Dandelet’s “The imperial Renaissance.”
