In this, he exhibits what many consider to be the quintessential characteristic of Renaissance humanism: an insistence on rhetoric. But there is another level of critique at work here. While Decembrio’s use of his source would be thought plagiaristic today,9 he does weigh the information it presents with a critical eye; his acceptance of the subjects treated by the text is not slavish. He is not bowing to the text’s authority because it is old; he is interacting with it, in a dialogue across the ages.
Of course, as with the social sciences, history (again, to an extent, like archaeology) deals with situations and phenomena created by human beings: political, military, social, artistic, musical, literary, theatrical, intellectual phenomena. History must also, like the social sciences, deal with an unmanageably large number of variables. But while the truly social sciences (sociology, anthropology, psychology) seem to be still struggling with the management of those often intangible variables (emotions, beliefs, visions, human interactions) and how to study them scientifically (though they are now at last able to rely increasingly on the hard evidence of brain physiology – far more reliable than statistics), history itself has long had ways of handling its variables – in part of course by stringing them out chronologically over time in a narrative (in keeping with the way they occur), but more pertinently by seeking out and using evidence which is empirically verifiable (except in extreme cases of expert forgery – and, in fact, even in such cases, once moderate skepticism has entered the picture).
