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

其目的是满足对阿尔贝蒂的全面专著的需求：这本书的书名是利昂·巴蒂斯塔·阿尔贝蒂(Leon Battista Alberti，1404-1472)：文艺复兴时期博学者中的传统、创新和跨学科。研究背景是，自1990年以来，在阿尔贝蒂研究中采取了许多举措，直到2004年的百年纪念。这些活动采取了跨学科会议和出版程序的形式，以及两项重大的编辑行动，一项在意大利，一项在法国，在接下来的十年里出版阿尔贝蒂的全集(前三卷于2002-2003年出版)。然而，还没有以任何语言出版的全面的专著来全面描述这位多面手的作家。塞西尔·格雷森创立了阿尔贝蒂的《白话价值》(Bari，1960-73)的版本，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(Joan Kelly Gadol，1969)、伊夫拉克·贾宗贝克(ivlark Jarzombek，马萨诸塞州剑桥，1989)和安东尼·格拉夫顿(Anthony Grafton，Harmondsworth，2000)。这三本书都不是意大利文学专家写的，也没有一本涵盖阿尔贝蒂写的大量文学文本。加多尔的书主要是关于艺术理论家阿尔贝蒂的，她的最后一章(第213-40页)只有几页是关于他的文学作品的。由于Jarzombek对文艺复兴时期的拉丁语和意大利语的理解似乎存在严重缺陷，他的工作几乎没有受到学者的关注。安东尼·格拉夫顿是一位杰出的历史学家：他的阿尔贝蒂著作主要关注思想和文化史，将大部分篇幅投入到建筑论文(因此其副标题是意大利文艺复兴的莱亚斯特建设者)和德拉·法米格里亚，而其他三本白话对话只有三页。在私人谈话中，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有充分理由的。意大利学者对阿尔贝蒂的研究也显示出类似的模式。一本完全致力于作家作品的新期刊《阿尔贝蒂纳》(1998-)的出版，以及几个重要的A级会议，突显了人们对作家重要性的加深理解，但最近唯一的专著范围有限：庞特的莱昂·巴蒂斯塔·阿尔贝蒂。Umanista e Srittore(热那亚，1981年)，处理的是文学作品而不是技术作品，康塔里诺的L·B·阿尔贝蒂·莫拉里斯塔(Caltanissetta，1991年)处理的是伦理问题，而不是文学问题。在其他单一作者的价值，是由卢卡博谢托，里昂巴蒂斯塔阿尔贝蒂e Firenze(Olschki，2000)对Atberti的佛罗伦萨岁月新的曙光，平行于Stefano Borsi的工作在他的Leon Battista Alberti e Roma(佛罗伦萨，2003年)在罗马的古董阿尔贝蒂。里纳尔多·里纳尔迪的《基督教忧郁症》。Studi Sulle Fonti di Leon Battista Alberti(Olschki，2002)是一个文集，中心的文章集中在一部作品(Momus)上，而Francesco Furlan的Studia Albertiana(巴黎-都灵，2003)是另一个散文集，提供了对围绕文本的一些语言和流派问题的见解。最近关于作者的其他学术研究是以文章和会议记录的形式进行的。1990年代的三次会议分别于1999年、2000年和2001年举行(见支助案例)，而2004年的许多百年纪念会议的议事程序才刚刚开始。成果的潜在应用和好处：完成的专著将在文艺复兴研究的一般领域，以及意大利、拉丁语(和希腊语)文学研究、古典文化的接受、艺术史和建筑史等特定领域的学生和研究人员中发挥作用。

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.
