Leonardo BruniAbstract
Completed in December 1421, De Militia represents the highest expression of the thought of the Florentine humanist and chancellor, Leonardo Bruni, in the social and political field, before the writing of Historiae florentini popoli. This important work of Renaissance political thought is distinguished by the lack of rhetorical and encomiastic emphasis that permeates Bruni's previous works, such as Laudatio and Oratio. In De Militia, the humanist deals with the historical characteristics of the army, analyzing them based on four central topics: 1) The historical and philosophical origin of the militia; 2) The connections between the modern Florentine militia and the militias of past times; 3) The reputation of the soldier, his clothing and ornaments and 4) The position and conduct of the soldier not only in times of war but also in times of peace. Still without translation into Portuguese, this article translates the work in its entirety, inserting explanatory notes to the text and a brief presentation of the work.
