The Accademia Pontaniana: A Model of a Humanist Network is an exploration of the vast intellectual networks which developed around the fifteenth century humanist Pontano. It includes the densely knit network which emerged in Naples, the Accademia Pontaniana, as well as the loosely knit networks which developed between the members of this academy and other humanists and academies outside of Naples. Shulamit Furstenberg-Levi points to the links between the Accademia Pontaniana and other sodalities in Southern Italy, and to the lineage between fifteenth century informal academies and sixteenth century institutional Academies. In this study recent sociological theory is applied to understand Renaissance academies and the vertical and horizontal links between them.

“The great merit of this book is that it explores the vast intellectual networks that Pontano developed in the late Quattrocento, as well as the links between the other great cities and their intellectuals and humanists. It doesn’t leave any figure aside and presents a global vision of the actors of the time.”Florence Bistagne, Université d’Avignon / Institut universitaire de France. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 70, No. 4 (Winter 2017), pp. 1466-1467.“I numerosi spunti di riflessione sviluppati dalla lettura dei due brillanti saggi pubblicati da Brill potranno aprire un dibattito da estendere in future ricerche, che dovranno tenere conto anche di altri aspetti significativi del lascito intellettuale ebraico italiano meridionale in età rinascimentale, ad esempio nel mondo veneziano e ottomano, centri di accoglienza di esuli ebrei regnicoli, che continuarono a sviluppare per buona parte del Cinquecento temi e tradizioni oggetto di studio della Napoli aragonese.”Fabrizio Lelli, University of Salento, in Sefer yuḥasin 2017-5, pp 159-169 (ISSN 2281-6062)
