Description: Thanks to extensive archival research and a thorough examination of the published works of the university's professors, Grendler's history tells a new story.
Brief description: Paul F. Grendler is a professor emeritus of history at the University of Toronto and former president of the Renaissance Society of America. He is the editor-in-chief of the prize-winning Encyclopedia of the Renaissance and author of nine books, including Schooling in Renaissance Italy and The Universities of the Italian Renaissance, both winners of the American Historical Association's Howard R. Marraro Prize for Italian History and both published by Johns Hopkins.
Review Quotes: Does a university that lasted only six years deserve a full-length academic study? In this case, the answer is clearly yes . . . Highly recommended.
