About the book: 1996 / Jacob Burckhardt (1818-1897) - Swiss cultural historian. His talent was fully revealed in the work “The Culture of the Renaissance in Italy.” The classic work of J. Burckhardt did not turn into some kind of academic value over time; it still has a living impact on new generations of readers. A new translation with an extensive commentary allows us to return this book to the modern reader and make it available to the wider scientific community.
