[3] The translation is from David Marsh, "Grammar, Method, and Polemic in Lorenzo Valla's 'Elegantiae,'" 105. Jerrold Seigel also discusses this passage in Rhetoric and Philosophy in Renaissance Humanism: The Union of Eloquence and Wisdom, Petrarch to Valla , 162-64. For an account of Valla's argument in favor of Quintilian rather than Cicero, see Salvatore Camporeale, Lorenzo Valla: Umanesimo e teologia , 89-100. On the accommodations made between scholasticism and humanism in Roman cultural and intellectual life, see D'Amico, Renaissance Humanism in Papal Rome , esp. 115-43.
