| Research Abstract |
The results of the present research project are as follows: 1. The variety of Poliziano's subjects as a humanist and philologist. His subjects ranged from Greek and Roman poets in his early career; to Roman historians and philosophers such as Plato and the Stoics, and to Aristotelian philosophy in his last years. 2. Poliziano's self-perception as a humanist and philologist. His last lectures at the Studio Karentino dealt with the Aristotelian corpus, and his attitudes in discussing the moral, and especially the logical works (the `Organon') were typically those of a Renaissance humanist, which valued `simplicity' and `clarity'. Also, his emphasis on the Greek originals was true to the principles of humanist philology. 3. The opening orations (praelectiones) Panepistemon' and Dialectics in his last phase as a professor show rudiments of an encyclopedic sense of `method' that aims to view and synthesize the entire sphere of learning. 4. Finally, the general importance of the present project lies in considering the humanistic and philological works of Poliziano, a representative scholar of Italian humanism in the second half of the Quattrocento, in the Latin originals and trying to understand them comprehensively. The present researcher used the 1498 Venetian Omnia Opera (the editio princeps published by Aldo Manuzio) as the copy text and, collating this edition with others (the 1553 Basle edition, the 1512 Paris edition and the 1528, 1533, 1546 Lyon editions of the Opera Omnia, as well as the 1492 Florentine first edition of the Lamia, among them), edited workable texts of eleven humanistic works. This is an essential preliminary task, as there still exist few modern critical editions of Poliziano's works. In the future, the researcher hopes to extend the editing work to the centuria prima of the Miscellanea, and to interpret the humanistic and philological works of Poliziano as a whole.
