      abstract = {"'On the World and Religious Life' (c. 1381) is the first  surviving treatise of Coluccio Salutati (1332-1406),  chancellor of the Florentine Republic (1375-1406) and the  leader of the humanist movement in Italy in the generation  after Petrarch and Boccaccio. The work was written for a  lawyer who had left secular life to enter the  Camaldulensian monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli,  located in the heart of Florence. The new monk prevailed on  Salutati to write a treatise encouraging him to persevere  in the religious life. His request led to this wide-ranging  reflection on humanity's misuse of God's creation and the  need to orient human life in accordance with a proper  hierarchy of values. This work is here translated into  English for the first time."--Front inside flap of dust  jacket.},
