Bartolomeo Goggio

Bartolomeo Goggio was an Italian writer and notary.
He is most recognized for De laudibus mulierum, written in the late 1480s, which was dedicated to Eleanor of Naples, Duchess of Ferrara. Only one surviving manuscript of the work, held at the British Library, is known to exist. For De laudibus mulierum, 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 it, he argues for the superiority of women. After Eleanor's death in 1493, Goggio wrote another philosophical work, De nobilitate humani animi opus .
