Description
Summary:The popularity of Jean Gerson in the 15th century throughout Europe from Scandinavia to Spain was extraordinary. The article focuses on Gerson's reception in Italy, where three distinctive but interconnected channels of his influence - monastic milieu, humanist circles and universities - functioned differently and not as efficiently as in both the Empire and in France. After analyzing the reasons for this difference, the article focuses on major tendencies of Gerson's reception in Italy, especially in Antoninus of Florence, Pietro Ritta da Lucca and Sylvester Mazzolini.
