Summary/Abstract: Few people know that European education has been influenced by two major books, that were written during the Renaissance, then, when the Old World and the New World were still meeting and overlapping. So, the study analysis of the forces that have shaped and produced these two books: Il Cortegione, by Count Baldassare Castilione and The Governor, by Sir Thomas Elyot is welcome. Curriculum theory, present in these two books, has the merit to promote a `holistic view of human nature` and to make us aware that the cognitive, affective and psycho-motor dimension of human being are interwoven.
