Pressestimmen
The sparkling translation, by Sarah Knight, frequently substitutes English colloquialisms for a more formal diction...The facing page's original text allows readers equipped with various levels of Latin--rusty or merely lightly oxidized--to follow the great success of the translator, who has produced a version at once faithful and spirited...There is a satirical violence of rhetoric here that goes beyond the familiar, and which makes "Momus" seem sometimes a premonitory text, looking forward not only to Rabelais and Erasmus, but to Swift and Beckett.--James Wood"New Republic" (12/22/2003)
Kurzbeschreibung
"Momus" is the most ambitious literary creation of Leon Battista Alberti, the famous humanist-scientist-artist and "universal man" of the Italian Renaissance. In this dark comedy, written around 1450, Alberti charts the lively fortunes of his anti-hero Momus, the unscrupulous and vitriolic god of criticism. Alberti deploys his singular erudition and wit to satirize subjects from court life and politics to philosophy and intellectuals, from grand architectural designs to human and divine folly. The possible contemporary resonance for Alberti's satire - read variously as a humanist roman-a-clef and as a veiled mockery of the mid-Quattrocento papacy - is among its most intriguing aspects. While his more famous books on architecture, painting and family have long been regarded as indispensable to a study of Renaissance culture, "Momus" has attracted increasing attention from scholars as a work anticipating the realism of Machiavelli and the satiric wit of Erasmus. This edition provides a Latin text, based on the two earliest manuscripts, both corrected by Alberti himself, and includes a full translation into English.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you ever thought that playing tricks on people was fun, or if you've ever done it on a small scale and gained satisfaction from the results, this is a book for you! Leon Battista Alberti has taken stories of the gods from ancient times and played with them to produce an enthralling, captivating tale of one minor god (Momus) and his tricks and games against all the other gods. The book is, however, much more than a comical tour through the fantasy of a writer; it is aimed to teach by making the reader think about each and every incident recounted. It is an educational work written as a comedy designed to make learning fun and, through that fun, bring more attention and enjoyment into the lessons. Even for anyone not interested in learning how a Prince should behave, how he should react with others and what is considered correct for a Prince in the 15th century, the book makes a fascinating read.
