    It was Leonardo Bruni (ca. 1369–1444) who had begun the transplantation of the medieval Aristotelian corpus into a Latin conforming to the new humanist standards and hence appealing to a readership educated by humanists. […] Meanwhile, as Bruni's reputation grew, other humanists had begun to re-Latinize Aristotle.
