Chapter Tra diuturno affanno e consolazione: il tempo del non lavoro nel Basso Medioevo
Abstract
It was the material conditions that, together with philosophical and religious thought, determined men's attitudes in their time off work and during festivals. If taking solace in life's difficulties in Boethius' thought was one of the elements that characterised attitudes within any kind of work activity, it was at the beginnings of Humanism and in the premises of the Renaissance that man began to free himself from total dependence on God and the blind fate of fortune.
