A study of the Italian humanist Gasparino Barzizza, or Gasparinus de Bergamo, a grammarian lecturing on Seneca, Cicero, Virgil and Terence, among others, in early fifteenth-century Padua. Mercer draws on literary sources never previously used by historians, ranging across documents scattered in numerous libraries, to make sense of the sources of Barzizza's teaching.
