Abstract
Drawing on texts written by classical Roman writers and Christian Church Fathers, Van Brabant analyzes humanist educational works from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries . She concludes that no monolithic humanist educational program existed in this period; authors incorporated Christian and classical ideals in their writings in a variety of combinations.
