Summary:
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 of Alberti's satire, read variously as a humanist roman-à-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 life have long been regarded as indispensable to a study of Renaissance culture, Momus has recently attracted increasing attention from scholars as a work anticipating the realism of Machiavelli and the satiric wit of Erasmus. This edition provides a new Latin text, the first to be based on the two earliest manuscripts, both corrected by Alberti himself, and includes the first full translation into English.

Elle est Aaccompagnée d’un appareil critique et d’une iconographie qui rendent justice à ce traité qui, depuis plus de cinq siècles constitue une référence majeure de la réflexion esthétique. Avec le De pictura, Alberti a formulé, ordonné et explicité, dans un langage théorique et communicable, un grand nombre de données fondamentales en peinture, ouvrant une ère nouvelle à la fois pour la définition du beau et la place des artistes au sein de la cité. Son traité, qui introduit l’esprit rationaliste dans l’esthétique, marque la sortie de l’ère proprement religieuse. Mais, tout en expliquant comment le beau répond à certaines lois bien précises, jamais Alberti ne perd de vue que la fin de la peinture est avant tout la délectation individuelle.

Summary:
Alberti fut le premier, dans la culture occidentale, à ériger l'aménagement de l'espace en discipline autonome. En cela, il s'adresse encore aujourd'hui à tous ceux, praticiens ou non, que concerne l'édification de notre cadre de vie. Le De re aedificatoria n'avait jamais été retraduit en français depuis la version donnée en 1553 par Jean Martin.

Summary:
In Humanism and the Urban World, Caspar Pearson offers a profoundly revisionist account of Leon Battista Alberti’s approach to the urban environment as exemplified in the extensive theoretical treatise De re aedificatoria (On the Art of Building in Ten Books), brought mostly to completion in the 1450s, as well as in his larger body of written work. This book explores the ways in which Alberti sought to remedy urban problems, tracing key themes that manifest in De re aedificatoria. Chapters address Alberti’s consideration of the city's possible destruction and the city’s capacity to provide order despite its intrinsic instability; his assessment of a variety of political solutions to that instability; his affinity for the countryside and discussions of the virtues of the active versus the contemplative life; and his theories of aesthetics and beauty, in particular the belief that beauty may affect the soul of an enemy and thus preserve buildings from attack.
