From humble beginnings, Bartolomeo Scala (1430-1497) trained in the law and rose to prominence as a leading citizen of Florence, serving as secretary and treasurer to the Medicis and chancellor of the Guelf party before becoming first chancellor of Florence, a post he held for fifteen years. Along with his professional writings as chancellor, Scala's personal treatises, fables, and dialogues--widely read and admired by his contemporaries--were deeply indebted to classical sources. His palace in Borgo Pinti, modeled on classical designs, was emblematic of his achievements as a humanist as well as a public official.
This volume collects works from throughout his career that show his acquaintance with recently rediscovered ancient writers, whose works he had access to through the Medici libraries, and the influence of fellow humanists such as Marsilio Ficino, Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini
