Resumo(s)
The Italian humanist Enea Silvio Piccolomini wrote abundantly about Europe and is often viewed as a pioneer of European thought. Works previous to the treatise De Europa leave no doubt that the author pondered the subject long since. However, the work De Europa has has the advantage of dealing with Europe from multiple dimensions. Though the work can provide matter to make the case for an identity of Europe, Piccolomini portrays a block full of tensions and conflicts, where national languages and identities begin to emerge. It is the historical circumstance of a Turkish threat to Europe that makes the appeal to a European identity more
compelling. Still the case for such European identity in Piccolomini is hardly more than an emotional response to the historical moment.
