Giannozzo Manetti’s Apologeticus was a defense of the study of Hebrew and of the need for a new translation. It constituted the most extensive treatise on the art of translation of the Renaissance. This ITRL edition contains the first complete translation of the work into English.

Trade Review
Renders accessible a valuable document that testifies to the ambition and the breadth of learning of a major Florentine humanist. * Renaissance Quarterly *
A key document in the field of early modern translation theory. * Seventeenth-Century News *
This edition of the I Tatti Renaissance library is laudable, for it has for the first time presented the complete English translation of Manetti, allowing readers not only to acquaint themselves with the text but also somehow to denude the author’s persona and his treatise of any unnecessary mystery. * Manuscripta Orientalia *
