Descrizione: Federica Rossetti discusses the œuvre of a single man: the Piedmont scholar and Reformation theologian Celio Secondo Curione who fled persecution for his heterodox beliefs in Italy and eventually settled in Basel where was appointed to a professorship of rhetoric in 1547. While Curio, as editor and commentator, is primarily focused on the rhetorical works, including commentaries on the Philippics, Topica, Partitiones oratoriae and Brutus, his work was not motivated by his role as a teacher of rhetoric alone; rather it appears deeply enmeshed in his wider philosophical interests. As Rossetti shows, the dedicatory prefaces, in particular, draw on Cicero’s philosophical writings to propagate an ideal of liberal education that Curio would later explicate in his treatise Schola, sive de perfecto grammatico (Basel 1555). Curio’s life-long engagement with Cicero is thus testament not only to lively contemporary debates, but also to the international networks of the leading intellectuals, and the relatively libertarian politics, in 16th century Basel [Scheidegger Laemmle 2024, 13].
