"For the affluent merchant class of fifteenth-century Florence, the education of future
generations was a fundamental matter. Together with texts, images played an important
role in the development of the young into adult citizens. In this book, Federico Botana
demonstrates how illustrated manuscripts of vernacular texts read by the Florentine
youth facilitated understanding and memorisation of basic principles and knowledge.
They were an important means of acquiring skills then considered necessary to gain
the respect of others, to prosper as merchants, and to participate in civic life.
Botana focuses on illustrated texts that were widely read in Quattrocento Florence:
the Fior di virtù (a moral treatise including a bestiary), the Esopo volgarizzato
(Aesop's Fables in Tuscan), the Sfera by Goro Dati (a poem on cosmology and geography),
and mathematical manuals known as libri d'abbaco. He elucidates, in light of original
sources and medieval and modern cognitive theory, the mechanisms that empowered illustrations
to transmit knowledge in the Italian Renaissance"
