      abstract = {This book revises the picture of the teacher and educator  of princes, Vittorino Rambaldoni da Feltre (c. 1378, Feltre  -- 1446, Mantua), taking a completely new approach to show  his work and life from the individual perspectives created  by his students and contemporaries. From 1423 to 1446,  Vittorino da Feltre was in charge of a school in Mantua,  where his students included not only the offspring of  Italy's princes, but also the first generation of authors  dealing with books in print. Among his students were  historians like Bartolomeo Sacchi (named Platina), who  wrote an extensive history of the popes, and mathematicians  like Jacopo Cassiano (Cremonensis), who translated the work  of Archimedes from Greek into Latin. Vittorino is still  regarded as the educationalist of Italian Renaissance  humanism per sé. This work not only contributes to the  study of the history of Italian humanist institutions, it  also uses available sources to demonstrate the development  of a new attitude to education in Italy.},
