Il volume contiene vari capitoli introduttivi dedicati all’autenticità, al titolo e alla letteratura pedagogica precedente e successiva al De liberis educandis, soffermandosi su famiglia e paideia in età imperiale e sulla tradizione manoscritta del trattato. Seguono sezioni dedicate a lingua e stile dell’opera, all’uso strumentale di citazioni, massime e aneddoti, alla prima traduzione latina di Guarino Veronese, a ricezione e fortuna e ad edizioni e traduzioni dell’opera, esaminando anche lo sviluppo di un progetto educativo all’interno del trattato. Si propone poi un’edizione critica con apparato positivo, una traduzione italiana e note di commento di carattere storico, filosofico, filologico e letterario, con una bibliografia finale.
