Review Of Living Well In Renaissance Italy: The Virtues Of Humanism And The Irony Of Leon Battista Alberti, By Timothy Kircher., Brian Maxson
ETSU Faculty Works

His irony was characterized by his encouragement to look for virtue beneath appearances and his distrust of equating virtue with humanist learning.
