The book, which first collected translations into Russian with the parallel text of the original works of Leonardo Bruni, the humanist and chancellor of the Florentine Republic, invites on an extensive journey through the pages of the history and literature of Italy from the last half of the XV for the first half of the 15th century. The year of birth Bruni is conditional - 1370, the city is unconditional - Scamso, where, it seems, he passed the basics of literacy. From about 1395 he studied the law at the university in Florence, listened to the rhetoric and interpretation of the classics with Giovanni Malpagini (who served before 1368 by the scribus of Petrarke), but the most important thing - he met the Chancellor of the Florentine Republic of Salyutati - the exemplary and leading successor of Petrarch and Bokkaccio in The case of raising talents, - gaining access to his impressive library and initiation into the plans of the Humanist Chancellor according to ideological and cultural updates. In 1397, Salutati’s troubles at the University of Florentati was called up by Manuel Chrysolor and the teaching of Greek writing was revived: Bruni, promoted by the Chancellor, brilliantly masters the Greek and, with a dull lack of competent Latinizations, is taken to translate the Greek texts of Vasily Caesophytus, Plato, Plutarch, also chosen under the leadership of Salutati. The first independent (the last response to the republican propaganda against the tyranny of Visconti during the life of Salyutati) The work of Bruni is the "praise of the Florentine capital" (1404): the triumph of history and the greatness of the ideal city. This is followed by "dialogs" (1406-1407) dedicated to the advanced teacher Pierre Paolo Vergerio, where all the urgent problems of self-aware humanistic culture are affected. These two works in the book are especially dismantled: in detailed explanations and applications, the texts of Salyutati, Petrarch, Bokkaccio, and Politico are given in order to recreate the intellectual environment of the era. The second part of the book is a biographical essay based on Bruni’s “Life ", which is relaxedly described by Vespasiano Bosticci, and on the highly firing funeral elegy of Perra Carlo Marsupini, the Humanist of the Florentine Republic after the death of Bruni in 1411.
