"His extant Latin letters are fewer those of many of his contemporaries, since he never collected or consciously preserved them....More plentiful are the letters of others to him, which place him at the center of a humanist network that extended from Venice to Naples....These letters, including one previously unpublished, are now edited for the first time alongside Valla's own correspondence. The translation is the first into any modern language."--Front inside flap of dust jacket.

Includes bibliographical references, appendices, and index. Appendix I is a note on the previously unpublished letter from Gian Pietro da Lucca to Valla which appears as ep. 50A in this edition; Appendix II is a list of correspondents.
