Option 1

 * Article title
 * Antonio Manetti (Antonio Manetti)


 * Article Evaluation
 * So I actually stumbled on this guy because I didn't know "our" Manetti's last name There is very little information about Antonio Manetti on his wikipedia page. It names him as a mathematician but doesn't mention any of his math. However, there are a good amount of drawings of his in a copy of Dante's Infernos which are on his page. Apparently he wrote a short story called The Fat Woodworker (missing a wikipedia page)! There is almost nothing about him.


 * Sources
 * So on JSTOR only the first search result is actually about him :/

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Giannozzo Manetti (Giannozzo Manetti)


 * Article Evaluation
 * Our good friend Giannozzo Manetti has a few paragraphs about who he was and his work on his page. There are no photos of him or his work on the page. There seems to be no pages on his work though it does mention people that he wrote on. There is certainly room to discuss more of his views and the content of his manuscripts in this article. Furthermore, I'm sure some other humanists used his work or talked about him so I suppose that could be mentioned.


 * Sources
 * There are many many sources I could draw from (actually apparently a book was just published about him in 2019!)

https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctvnwc082.4?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=giannozzo&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dgiannozzo&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_SYC-5462%2Ftest&refreqid=fastly-default%3Aa575c8c931ce6c154c771a8c25a76c14

I can read French so here is another article:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/20681149?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=giannozzo&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dgiannozzo&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_SYC-5462%2Ftest&refreqid=fastly-default%3Aa575c8c931ce6c154c771a8c25a76c14

https://www.jstor.org/stable/24423453?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=giannozzo&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dgiannozzo&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_SYC-5462%2Ftest&refreqid=fastly-default%3Aa575c8c931ce6c154c771a8c25a76c14

etc etc-- i could keep going

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Lucrezia de' Medici, Duchess of Ferrara (Lucrezia de' Medici, Duchess of Ferrara)


 * Article Evaluation
 * She has a longer Wikipedia page than both the above two men I have linked, but as I commented upon in my "Article Evaluation" part of the course, the things discussed revolve around the people around her rather than her herself (if that makes sense. She is more like a pawn in their games and the article plays into this.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * So an article for this does not exist yet, but doing some Catherine de' Medici research I found something called: The Flying Squadron (L'escadron valont of which Charlotte de Sauve was a member of. Apparently it is a group of female spies meant to seduce men at court and give information to Catherine de' Medici!


 * Article Evaluation
 * Well, there's no article so...


 * Sources
 * I didn't see any sources on JSTOR :(

Option 5

 * Article title
 * So another one of my ideas is translating some articles into French / Catalan or vice-versa!
