Description: Vergerio's defense of Cicero against Petrarch's charge that Cicero abandoned the otium of his old age to involve himself in the wars of adolescents was motivated by Vergerio's own belief in the value of the vita activa civilis. It should not be thought, however, that Vergerio's defense reflects his own political views entirely. It is rather a literary defense of an ancient author whom Vergerio particularly admired. [APh]
