Decameron!

With my wife, Michaela Paasche Grudin, I have co-authored Boccaccio's Decameron and the Ciceronian Renaissance, which is under contract with Palgrave Macmillan. Our book has something to say, not only about Boccaccio's masterpiece, but also about the origins of modern thought.

I have revised my Britannica article, "Humanism," to reflect the dramatic influence of the Florentine, Brunetto Latini (1320-94), on the rise of Renaissance Humanism.

My latest book, Design and Truth, will be out in paperback in late May.
