  One of the leading humanists of Quattrocento Italy, Lorenzo Valla (1406-1457) has been praised as a brilliant debunker of medieval scholastic philosophy. In this book, the author seeks a more balanced assessment, presenting us with a comprehensive analysis of the humanist's attempt at radical reform of Aristotelian scholasticism.
