Anyone know if Dante Aligheri is considered a humanist? If so, any insight into why would be appreciated. Thank you.

Wouldn't it be nice if the further reading included the works of his mentioned in the article's text? --68.82.51.198 23:59, 26 May 2004 (UTC)
A bibliography for this would be great. Also look at http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Italian_Studies/dweb/boccaccio/life2.shtml for more stuff including texts.

[edit] Catherine of Valois?
Hello, There must be an error. It is said that Boccaccio profited from Niccolo Acciaiuoli's influence as lover of Catherine of Valois. But the link "Catherine de Valois" leads to a women that has lived from 27 October 1401 – 3 January 1437, whereas Boccacio died in December 21, 1375. So something is wrong. Anybody knows what exactly? Benjamin - bnj.s@web.de
- I just checked, and she is a different Catherine of Valois, better known as Catherine of Valois-Courtenay, widow of Philip I of Taranto. Also, it is certain that Niccolò Acciaiuoli was her administrator, but not that he was her lover, even though it is a gossip that dates back to the 14th century. GhePeU
