In Dignitas et excellentia hominis: Atti del convegno internazionale di studi su Giannozzo Manetti, Ed. Stefano U. Baldassarri, 203-219. Florence: Le Lettere.http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:2961810This article argues that Giannozzo Manetti's <i>Life of Socrates</i> (c. 1440), seemingly a random pastiche of ancient sources, is in fact carefully constructed to present a particular image of Socrates, a Socrates who can serve as a model for the humanistic movement of the early fifteenth century.en-USMonograph or Book
