A digression from the usual subject of this blog, but a worthy one.
In rough chronological order:
Petrarch 1304 – 1374
Leonardo Bruni 1370 –1444
Pius II 1405-1464
Guillaume Bude 1467 – 1540
Marguerite de Navarre 1492 – 1549
Francois Rabelais 1494-1553
Not quite a humanist, but the best hat-wearer of them all, is of course Dante (1265-1321)
There may be some who say, "Madeleine, I come to this blog for the best writing on film there is, and I don't care about anything else but film, film, film, film, film." These naggers should be advised that 1: This attitude will get them nowhere and 2: Work on "The Humanist Hat Show" will commence as soon as "Being and Lobsterness" goes into post-production.
