Description
India in the Italian Renaissance surveys the changing representations of pagan Indians in Italian culture from the late medieval period to the end of the 16th century. Curiosity for the world well beyond Italy, and the freedom to decide what one thought of it, were important features of Italian Renaissance culture. Therefore the response to the challenge of contemporary pagan worlds was one of twists and turns. Although contemporary pagan India was never endorsed by Italian humanist culture, this study shows that there are indications that, as the image of contemporary India evolved, so its ancient pagan past began to be mythologized as on a par with the classical world.
