The Sophistic Renaissance proposes to account for both of these phenomena, both the infamy and the influence of the ancient Greek sophists in the European Renaissance from the fifteenth to the sixteenth centuries. The book is divided into two parts, which are further divided into six chapters. Part one is entitled The Fortune of the Sophists. We begin with the question, who were the sophists and what did the Renaissance know of them ? Chapter one takes a bibliographical approach in order to identify what fragments of the sophists were known in what form at what time and to what audience from classical antiquity up to the early modern era of European history. Chapter two examines the collective reputation of the sophists bequeathed by antiquity to the Renaissance by focusing on the neo-Latin usage of sophista, both in the commentary tradition, where Marsilio Ficino, Pier Vettori, and Marc Antoine Muret play leading roles, and in the controversies pitting humanists against scholastics, where Erasmus deploys his formidable polemical skills. This debate reminds us that those who speak against the sophists are not averse to speaking like the sophists, and in any transmission of a controversial legacy, the first impulse of the disciple is to repudiate the teacher. For the humanists, the most creative and conspicuous legacy of ancient sophistic is the recognition of what I will call the antagonism of speech, or the capacity of speech to turn against itself so as to neutralize all dogmatic convictions. Part two examines this antagonism of speech under a series of headings that are coordinated with the most notorious paradoxes of the sophistic tradition. Chapter three, Speaking Against Speech, derives from a passage in Quintilian's Institutio oratoria where the rhetor, in defense of rhetoric, deplores those who, like Plato in the Gorgias, use eloquence to discredit eloquence. In his early sixteenth-century commentary on Quintilian, the Erasmian humanist Petrus Mosellanus compares this ancient controversy to the late fifteenth-century epistolary debate between Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Ermolao Barbara on the scholastic Latin prose style. This chapter reads Pico's letter, Barbaro's reply, and Angelo Poliziano's editorial commentary in light of the sophists' fascination with the power of speech to stand against itself and to derive its persuasive force from the counter speeches which it provokes. The chapter also looks at the essay "De la vanite des paroles" (I,51) where Montaigne, like Plato and Pico before him, harnesses the forces of eloquence against eloquence. The next chapter, entitled The Truth of Opposites, studies the Renaissance heritage of Protagoras of Abdera, who taught that there are two speeches on every subject opposed to each other and who founded the techne antilogike or antilogic. After reviewing the principle ancient testimony to Protagorean anti-logic and tracing some genealogical lines of transmission from ancient texts to Renaissance readers, the chapter looks at three paradigmatic episodes of Renaissance antilogic. The first involves the humanist genre of the letter as exemplified by Poliziano's dedicatory epistle to Piero de' Medici of his Libri epistolarum and Erasmus' dedicatory epistle to William Blount, Lord Mountjoy of the Adagiorum collectanea or the first edition of the Adages. The second involves the new vernacular form of the novel as exemplified by the Tiers Livre of Francois Rabelais. The culminating instance of Renaissance antilogic will be sought in the Essais of Michel de Montaigne, whose use of opposing speeches is a constitutive feature of his book and of the essay genre itself.
