This article focusing on various humanistic-Renaissance texts as well as others of the very early Modern Age aims to assess images of Moses, a paradigmatic figure who proves to be a useful sensor: if at the beginning of the Renaissance Moses was predominantly a lawgiver and leader, the image of Moses as an able magician and a religious and political impostor is affirmed later, during and especially at the end of the 16th century, when an idea of nature that can pretend to assume the role of divinity acquired increasingly greater meaning and depth.

Abstract
This article focusing on various humanistic-Renaissance texts as well as others of the very early Modern Age aims to assess images of Moses, a paradigmatic figure who proves to be a useful sensor: if at the beginning of the Renaissance Moses was predominantly a lawgiver and leader, the image of Moses as an able magician and a religious and political impostor is affirmed later, during and especially at the end of the 16th century, when an idea of nature that can pretend to assume the role of divinity acquired increasingly greater meaning and depth.File in questo prodotto:
