Biography

Ann E. Moyer specializes in intellectual cultural history of Renaissance Europe, particularly focusing on sixteenth-century Italy. Her recent book, 'The Intellectual World of Sixteenth-Century Florence: Humanists and the Culture of the Age of Cosimo' (2020), examines how Florentines engaged with their own language, literature, history, and art, arguing for their inclusion in the grand narrative of greatness comparable to antiquity. Moyer’s work encompasses a variety of related book-length research projects with overlapping themes concerning music, mathematics, and the relationship between the arts and sciences during the Renaissance. Her notable publications include 'Musica Scientia: Musical Scholarship in the Italian Renaissance' (Cornell University Press, 1992), 'Raffaele Brandolini: Music and Poetry' (MRTS, 2001), and 'The Philosophers' Game: Rithmomachia in Medieval and Renaissance Europe' (University of Michigan Press, 2001). Moyer has also served as Executive Editor for the 'Journal of the History of Ideas', published by Penn Press, and was the Executive Director of the Renaissance Society of America from July 2010 to June 2015.
