SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This dissertation aims to fill a historiographical gap in Renaissance Anglophone historiography. There is very little documentation in the historical record thus far on Sicily during the Renaissance. Most Renaissance historiography is centered on northern Italy and northern Europe. By studying the works of five Sicilian humanists: Tommaso Fazello (1498-1570), Tommaso Schifaldo (1430-1500?), Lucio Marineo Siculo (1444-1533), Claudio Mario D'Arezzo (?-1575), and Antonio Veneziano (1543-1593) we can trace Sicilian humanist thought and understand the form the Renaissance took in Sicily. I argue that through the works of these humanists not only can we trace how Sicilian humanism differed from the humanism of northern Italy, but we can also begin to understand how Sicilians saw themselves and conceptualized their identities. Sicilianita, my term for the identity construction of Sicilian humanists, was an indicator of the intellectual movements of the Sicilian Renaissance and also provides a new lens through which to study identity formation in the Renaissance in a way which complicates accepted uses of the "nation-state paradigm" by contesting its Eurocentric foundations.
