Abstract

With this paper we’ve wanted to expose the notices existed about the life and works of the humanist Domenico Silvestri (1335-1411?). More precisely, we’ve focused our study on his most important work, De insulis et earum proprietatibus, considered as the first Islario (book containing information about islands, from the end of the XIV century) known until now. On the other hand, we’ve made a short history of the «island genre» from his appearance in the Greek and Latin literatures to the definitive formation of the humanist island books.
