- W2756260082 abstract "In the past few decades, a lot has been written about the reception of Lucretius (ca. 94-50 BCE) in the Renaissance, and yet, it is still not quite straightforward to what extent Lucretius’ doctrine, and his natural philosophy in particular, had an impact on Renaissance and early-modern thought, and especially on the so-called revival of atomism in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In order to address this issue, in this dissertation, I have looked at the earliest Renaissance commentators on De rerum natura, considered why they chose to comment on Lucretius’ poem, and how they responded to his matter theory. Each of the five chapters of this dissertation is devoted to a different exegetical work on Lucretius, written after his rediscovery in 1417 up to the end of the sixteenth century: Ficino’s ‘lost’ commentariola (1457?), Raphael Francus’ Paraphrasis (1504), Johannes Baptista Pius’ commentary (1511), Denis Lambin’s annotated editions (1563/64 and 1570), and Girolamo Frachetta’s Spositione (1589). In order to evaluate how these exegetes tackled the issue of atomism, I have analysed some passages in which they commented on Lucretius’ matter theory.Two main features have emerged: 1) the absence of an explicit condemnation of Lucretius’ atomism as such, but, instead, a tendency to adapt and re-contextualize it within other philosophical frameworks; 2) the presence of a highly complex and eclectic panorama of interpretations, which often originated from the conflation of Lucretius’ Epicurean atomism with other doctrines, such as the Empedoclean four-element theory, Plato’s geometrical atomism, and Aristotle’s hylomorphism. By following the intricate network of references, citations and interpretations put forward by the Renaissance commentators on De rerum natura, this dissertation aims to show how Lucretius’ scientific theories, and especially atomism, were read, interpreted, and injected back into the philosophical discourse after the rediscovery of his poem." @default.
