Abstract
Domenico di Bandino of Arezzo was one of that circle of humanists who in middle life studied in the orbit of Coluccio Salutati at Florence. Their books enjoyed a brief fame, but did not survive the test imposed by fifteenth-century developments in matter and style. Domenico himself was a prolific writer, but the very weight of his principal work, an enormous encyclopaedia called the Fons Memorabilium Universi, has discouraged a close study of it. Its most original and interesting section, the De Viris Claris Virtute aut Vitio, has been consulted for an aperçu of his knowledge of rediscovered Latin texts, and the whole has been rifled for autobiographical information, but little more has been done.
