| Sumario: | This scholarly work explores the contributions of Aonio Paleario, a notable humanist from the Italian Renaissance, focusing on his advocacy for gender equality and religious reform. The book, edited by José García Fernández, delves into Paleario's progressive views on masculinity and his challenge to patriarchal norms. It examines his role in the Querelle des Femmes, a debate on the status and education of women, and his involvement in the Protestant Reformation in Italy. The text highlights Paleario's efforts to promote a balanced and equitable society, addressing the ethical frameworks of the time. Intended for an academic audience, this critical edition aims to shed light on Paleario's influence on European intellectual history and his opposition to the Catholic Church's dogma, which ultimately led to his condemnation. The book is part of a broader project funded by Spain's Ministry of Science and Innovation, emphasizing the importance of male voices in historical gender debates.
