Gudeman examines the works of important medieval scholars, such as Thomas Aquinas and Dante, and their contributions to the field of classical philology.Part three covers the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, examining the rediscovery of classical texts and the emergence of humanism. Gudeman discusses the works of important figures such as Petrarch, Erasmus, and Montaigne, and their contributions to the field of classical philology.Finally, part four covers the 19th century, discussing the emergence of new approaches to classical texts and the development of modern philology.
