Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472): Tradition, Innovation and Interdisciplinarity in a Renaissance Polymath

目的是为了满足对阿尔贝蒂的全面专著的需要：这本书的标题是莱昂·巴蒂斯塔·阿尔贝蒂（1404-1472）：文艺复兴时期博学家的传统，创新和跨学科。研究背景是，自1990年以来，在阿尔伯蒂研究中开展了许多倡议，导致2004年的百年纪念。这些都采取了跨学科会议和出版论文集的形式，还有两个主要的编辑倡议，一个在意大利，一个在法国，在未来十年内出版阿尔贝蒂的全部作品（前三卷出版于2002- 2003年）。然而，没有任何语言的综合性专著出版，以提供一个全面的画面，这位多方面的作家。塞西尔·格雷森（Cecil Grayson）创立了阿尔贝蒂的方言价值版本（Bari, 1960-73），但他从未写过一部权威的专著，尽管他的文集在他去世前不久出版了：Studi su Leon Battista Alberti （Olschki, 1996）。在英语中，最近只有三本书：琼·凯利·加多尔（芝加哥，1969年），伊夫拉克·雅尔赞贝克（剑桥，马萨诸塞州，1989年）和安东尼·格拉夫顿（哈蒙兹沃斯，2000年）。这三本书都不是意大利文学方面的专家写的，也没有一本涵盖阿尔贝蒂所写的大量文学文本。Gadol的书主要与艺术理论家Alberti有关，在最后一章（213-40页）中只有几页是关于Alberti的文学作品的。Jarzombek的作品很少受到学者的关注，因为他对文艺复兴时期拉丁语和意大利语的理解似乎存在严重缺陷。安东尼·格拉夫顿是一位杰出的历史学家：他的阿尔伯蒂书主要关注思想史和文化史，将大部分篇幅用于建筑论文（因此副标题为《意大利文艺复兴时期的建造者》）和德拉家族，而其他三篇方言对话只有三页。在私下交谈中，格拉夫顿同意，从文学的角度写一本关于阿尔贝蒂的专著是很有必要的。意大利学者对阿尔贝蒂的研究也显示出类似的模式。一本完全致力于他的作品的新杂志《Albertiana》（1998-）的出现，以及几个主要的a会议，都强调了对这位作家重要性的进一步理解，但最近的专著只有庞特的《Leon Battista Alberti》，范围有限。Umanista e scriptre（热那亚，1981）处理的是文学而不是技术作品，Contarino的L B Alberti moralista （Caltanissetta, 1991）处理的是伦理而不是文学问题。在其他独立撰写的著作中，卢卡·博切托的《里昂·巴蒂斯塔·阿尔贝蒂·佛罗伦萨》（Olschki, 2000）对阿尔贝蒂在佛罗伦萨的生活进行了新的阐释，与之相对照的是斯特凡诺·博尔西在《里昂·巴蒂斯塔·阿尔贝蒂·罗马》（Florence, 2003）中对罗马古物学家阿尔贝蒂的研究。里纳尔多·里纳尔迪的《忧郁的基督徒》。《利昂·巴蒂斯塔·阿尔贝蒂的研究》（奥尔施基，2002年）是一本文集，中心部分只关注一部作品（莫莫斯），而弗朗西斯科·弗兰的《阿尔贝蒂安娜的研究》（巴黎-都灵，2003年）是另一本文集，提供了对围绕文本的一些语言学和体体学问题的见解。最近关于作者的其他学术研究以文章和会议记录的形式出现。1990年代三次会议的记录分别出现在1999年、2000年和2001年（见支持案例），2004年许多百年会议的记录才刚刚开始出现。潜在的应用和成果的好处：完成的专著将用于文艺复兴研究的一般领域的学生和研究人员，以及意大利，拉丁（和希腊）文学研究，古典文化的接受，艺术史和建筑史的特定领域。

The aim is to fulfil the need for a comprehensive monograph on Alberti: the book's title is Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472): Tradition, Innovation and Interdisciplinarty in a Renaissance Polymath. The research context is one in which many initiatives have been undertaken in Alberti studies since 1990, leading up to the centenary in 2004. These have taken the form of interdisciplinary conferences and the published proceedings, and also two major editorial initiatives, one in Italy, one in France, to publish in the next ten years Alberti's complete works (the first three volumes appeared in 2002-03). Yet, no comprehensive monograph in any language has been published to offer a rounded picture of this multi-faceted writer. Cecil Grayson, who established the editions of Alberti's vernacular worth's (Bari, 1960-73), never wrote a definitive monograph, though his collected articles were published shortly before his death: Studi su Leon Battista Alberti (Olschki, 1996). In English, there have been only three recent books: by Joan Kelly Gadol (Chicago, 1969), ivlark Jarzombek (Cambridge, MA, 1989) and Anthony Grafton (Harmondsworth, 2000). None of the three books were by experts in Italian literature, and none of them cover the vast body of literary texts written by Alberti. Gadol's book was largely concerned with Alberti the art theorist, and only a few pages of her final chapter (pp. 213-40) were devoted to his literary works. Jarzombek's work has received little attention from scholars since his understanding of Renaissance Latin and Italian seems deeply flawed. Anthony Grafton is a distinguished historian: his Alberti book is largely concerned with the history of ideas and culture, devoting most space to the architectural treatise (hence its subtitle lyiaster Builder of the Italian Renaissance), and to Della famiglia, whereas the other three vernacular dialogues receive barely three pages. In private conversation, Grafton agrees that there is a strong case for a monograph on Alberti written from a literary perspective. Italian scholarship on Alberti shows a similar pattern. The enhanced understanding of the writer's importance has been underlined by the appearance of a new journal entirely devoted to his works, Albertiana (1998-), and by several major A conferences, but the only recent monographs are limited in scope: Ponte's Leon Battista Alberti. Umanista e scrittore (Genoa, 1981), deals with the literary not the technical works, and Contarino's L B Alberti moralista (Caltanissetta, 1991) treats ethical not literary issues. Among other single-authored worths, new light was shed on Atberti's Florentine years by Luca Boschetto, Leon Battista Alberti e Firenze (Olschki, 2000), paralleled by Stefano Borsi's work on Alberti the antiquarian in Rome in his Leon Battista Alberti e Roma {Florence, 2003). Rinaldo Rinaldi's 'Melancholia Christiana". Studi sulle fonti di Leon Battista Alberti (Olschki, 2002) is a collection of articles, the central ones concentrating on just one work (Momus), while Francesco Furlan's Studia Albertiana (Paris-Turin, 2003) is another collection of essays, providing insights into some of the philological and genre problems surrounding the texts. The rest of recent scholarship on the author is in the form of articles and conference proceedings. The Atti of three 1990s conferences appeared in 1999, 2000 and 2001 (see Case for Support), and the proceedings of the many centenary conferences of 2004 have just started to appear. Potential applications and benefits of the outcome: the completed monograph will be of use to students and researchers in the general area of Renaissance studies, and in the particular fields of Italian, Latin (and Greek) literary studies, reception of classical culture, art history, and architectural history.
