Bartolomeo Goggio

Bartolomeo Goggio (also known Goggi, Gogio, and Gogo) was an Italian author and notary. He was born in Ferrara circa 1430 and died sometime after 1493.[1] He is most recognized for De laudibus mulierum [On the Merits of Women], written in the late 1480s,[2] which was dedicated to Eleanor of Naples, Duchess of Ferrara.[3] Only one surviving manuscript of De laudibus mulierum, currently held at the British Library, is known to exist.[4] For this work, Goggio is recognized as a contributor to the pro-woman side of the querelle des femmes — "a debate about the nature and worth of women that unfolded in Europe from the medieval to the early modern period." In De laudibus mulierum Goggio argues the superiority of women.[3] After Eleanor's death, Goggio wrote another philosophical work, De nobilitate humani animi opus.[4]
