- Supported by international grants, this monograph is the result of ten years’ research into the hitherto unexplored territory of Renaissance animal ethics. It overturns the view that animal ethics slowly emerged only after Descartes, by identifying and analysing a broad range of philosophical, medical and theological sources mainly in Latin and Italian, but also French, German and English. The substantial primary corpus included both writings by well-researched Renaissance authors and lesser-studied ones (e.g. Pucci, Vanini, Scaliger). The book offers critical analysis of extracts from these source–many not yet available in English–both in the original language and in translation.
