Scaligerana is a collection of anecdotes, conversations, and reflections attributed to Joseph Juste Scaliger (1540-1609), one of the most influential classical scholars of the Renaissance. Compiled and transcribed by Jean Vassan, who purportedly recorded Scaliger’s table talk and informal remarks, this work offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a brilliant and often opinionated intellectual. Published posthumously, the Scaligerana covers a wide range of subjects, from literature and history to philosophy and theology. It provides valuable insights into the intellectual climate of the late 16th and early 17th centuries and showcases Scaliger’s vast erudition and critical acumen. While the accuracy and authenticity of some of the anecdotes have been debated by scholars, the Scaligerana remains an important source for understanding Scaliger’s thought and the intellectual world in which he lived.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
