Abstrakt: This paper examines the reimagined value of Classical examples to discussions on human models of the self in the historiography, poetry, and philosophy of the Early Modern period. More specifically, debates on exemplarity, with a focus on the historical contingencies that undermine a text's applicability, occasion a reconsideration of the rhetoric, politics, and systems of thought that connect the writings of Niccolò Machiavelli and Giambattista Vico.
