Show moreMarcus Tullius Cicero exerted a major influence on rhetoric: intellectual writings, oratory, and education in the Early Italian Renaissance. Cicero's humanism expressed a fellowship with society and included justice, reasoning, moral and social duties to the community. It eventually replaced traditional learning and established a pattern of classical studies that was to continue for centuries. The Early Italian Renaissance was basically a cultural, literary and scholarly movement that represented an important and new phase in the study and interpretation of the history of classical antiquity and played a unique role in Western cultural history. This paper explores the extent to which contemporary authors have identified the similarities and differences between Cicero's humanism and the humanism of the Early Italian Renaissance. The author suggests areas requiring further research.
