In 2002, the Winthrop Group was commissioned to process and create a finding aid for the papers of Charles Trinkaus (1911-1999), a faculty member at Sarah Lawrence College (1936-1970) and at the University of Michigan (1970-1982). Trinkaus was widely regarded as an international authority on the Italian Renaissance and published extensively in his field.
When Winthrop archivists began work with these papers, the materials consisted of nine cubic feet of documents. When work was completed, the collection measured nearly seven cubic feet. Some of the discarded materials were copies (i.e., duplicates, triplicates) of documents. Duplicates of offprints and scholarly journals in which Trinkaus published were returned to Sarah Lawrence.
In the processing of the collection, numerous brittle documents were removed and replaced with copies made on archival-bond paper. Additionally, all paper clips and rusted staples were removed; when necessary to hold related pages together, stainless steel staples were used.
Some of the papers in this collection were damaged by water before their delivery to the Winthrop Group offices. Most of these papers were retained, even in their damaged condition. A folder containing a few particularly damaged documents was returned to Sarah Lawrence.
One folder of correspondence about the University of Michigan Search Committee for a Medieval Historian in 1972 was destroyed upon approval in October 2006 of Brian Williams, Associate Archivist at the University of Michigan University Archives and Records Program.
Even though the Trinkaus collection is small, the papers are highly interrelated and not easily separated one from the other. The organizational structure for the collection was developed after close analysis of the way in which the papers relate thematically and chronologically.
While arranging the Trinkaus Papers in acid-free folders, the archivist made an effort to identify undated materials and placed approximate dates on documents using a pencil and brackets in the upper right hand corner of the given page.
The Charles Trinkaus Papers represent the work of a scholar of international renown. The papers reveal not only the extent of Trinkaus’s exhaustive work in the field of Italian Renaissance scholarship, but also the weight of his contributions while a faculty member at Sarah Lawrence College and at the University of Michigan.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Charles Edward Trinkaus was born on October 25, 1911. His parents were children of German-American immigrants who came to America in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The sister of his paternal grandfather, John Philip Trinkaus, was the mother of John Philip Sousa. After graduating in 1929 from Southside High School (Rockville Centre, Long Island), Trinkaus began studies at Wesleyan University (Middletown, Conn.), where he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and from which he received a bachelor’s degree in history in June 1933. That same year, he began graduate studies in history at Columbia University, where he pursued his interests in medieval history (major) and modern European history (minor). In June of 1940, he was awarded the Ph.D. degree from Columbia. His dissertation, directed by Professor Lynn Thorndike, was published in 1940 under the title Adversity’s Noblemen: The Italian Humanists on Happiness. The book was reissued in 1965.
Trinkaus began his tenure at Sarah Lawrence College in 1936, where he served as a faculty member until 1970. While at Sarah Lawrence, Trinkaus played a significant role in the College’s summer program in Florence (Italy). His affiliation with the program began in 1958; he became director of the program in 1966. Trinkaus was very involved in faculty committee work and served on all of the principle committees of the College. He rendered some of his most important service in an effort to restructure the SLC curriculum.
In the year of his departure from Sarah Lawrence, Trinkaus published In Our Image and Likeness: Humanity and Divinity in Italian Humanist Thought, a two-volume study that evaluated the religious aspects of the Italian Renaissance. The publication was deemed “one of the most substantial and most original contributions to Renaissance studies in our century.” From 1970 until his retirement in 1982, Trinkaus taught at the University of Michigan. As a professor in the University’s department of history, Trinkaus was deeply involved in the development of the Medieval and Renaissance Collegium (MARC) and was primarily responsible for the Conference on Late Medieval and Renaissance Religion (1972), which he organized and hosted in Ann Arbor. The papers from this conference were published in the book entitled The Pursuit of Holiness in Late Medieval and Renaissance Religion (1974), which was co-edited by Trinkaus and Heiko Oberman. His The Poet as Philosopher: Petrarch and the Formation of Renaissance Consciousness was published in 1979. A collection of previously published articles by Trinkaus was released in the 1983 book entitled The Scope of Renaissance Humanism.
In 1980, the University of Michigan awarded Trinkaus its Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award. The award certificate reads, in part: “You have caused all students of the Italian Renaissance to reconsider their most trusted generalizations and to think anew about the Christian, moral and anthropological character of the Renaissance.” A copy of the certificate is housed in Series 2.
In 2000, Trinkaus’s contribution to the Collected Works of Eramus series was published by the University of Toronto Press under the title Controversies and is found in volumes 76 and 77 of that series. His numerous writing endeavors—books, articles, chapters, lectures—were linked to scholarly associations around the world and to individuals who exchanged written forms of communication with him on a regular basis. In his New York Times obituary (Sept. 25, 1999), in addition to being recognized as a past president of the Renaissance Society of America and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he was called one of the scholars in the 1940s and 1950s who “launched the wonderful flowering of Renaissance historical scholarship in North America.” A colleague at Ann Arbor, quoted in the same obituary, said of Trinkaus: “What set him and the tradition of Renaissance studies he represented apart from the scholarly tradition that followed was a deep belief that past writers and their texts could not be understood without careful historical study. He, therefore, had little patience for the post-modernists and deconstructionists who preached that texts had to be separated from their pasts.” In addition to his scholarly writings, Trinkaus generated voluminous amounts of correspondence.
Researchers will be interested in the process of research that is documented so well in the Trinkaus Papers. The correspondence shared with colleagues is only one component of the multi-faceted research process of Trinkaus’s time. There was also the tedious pencil-and-paper editing, which called for draft upon draft of revised typewritten text and the handwritten notes taken from student days well into maturity. In short, the record of Trinkaus’s scholarship is not only a record of his contribution to his field and to his profession, but it is also a record of the way in which scholars exchanged information and developed their own ideas in written form.

The majority of documents in the Charles Trinkaus Papers is made up of materials reflecting the breadth and depth of his academic pursuits. However, the records in this series comprise diverse sources of information that shed light not only on Trinkaus’s scholarly persona, but also on his life as a student, a friend, a husband, and a father.
Included here are essays written by Trinkaus as an undergraduate at Wesleyan University (B.A., 1933) and papers written by him as a graduate student at Columbia University (Ph.D., 1940).
Also included are galley proofs of his profile in Who’s Who in America, as well as announcements of his marriages to Joan Sheppard Pifer (1936), Mary Henle (1945), and Sarah Elizabeth Marks (1949). He was married to Pauline Moffitt Watts in 1975.
An engaging cache of personal correspondence from Maeve Beck (SLC Class of 1941) (dating from as early as 1941, uncertainty being due to many undated letters) is significant not only for its artifactual and content value, but also because Beck’s letters were isolated by Trinkaus from the rest of his voluminous correspondence. The letters reveal colorful details of daily events in the life of an intellectual woman whose observations were transferred skillfully with pen (or typewriter) to paper—often while sitting at her breakfast table. Alongside painful remarks about life in the days of World War II (“Bob has left for the Army. My legs went through the wooden stage, but feel better now. The streets and corners still shriek his name, but there is so much future to look to…”) there are comments on how to calculate the number of cricket chirps per minute and thoughts on books of the day. Beck’s letters are the work of a true letter-writer and would be of great interest to researchers looking for documentation of the period from the point-of-view of an unconventional, intellectual woman. For their conversational nature, their intensely personal quality, and their significance as modern epistolary ephemera, it is no wonder that Trinkaus kept the letters in their own folder. Along with her letters are poems, apparently written by Beck.
Obituaries published at Trinkaus’s death represent coverage from sources such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The San Francisco Chronicle. In addition to the obituaries written for Trinkaus, there is a newspaper notice announcing the accidental death of one of his two sons. At age 21, John Trinkaus died in 1972, the result of a climbing accident in Colorado. The John Trinkaus Memorial Fund was established for the library at Sarah Lawrence College.
The papers in this series focus primarily on the life of Trinkaus in his role as a professor at Sarah Lawrence College (1936-1970) and at the University of Michigan (1970-1982).
The correspondence with SLC’s President’s Office traces Trinkaus’s career at the College from his hiring by Constance Warren in 1936 to his resignation under Charles DeCarlo in 1970. In his letter to DeCarlo, dated February 17, 1970, Trinkaus wrote: “I do not need to tell you that I shall leave with heavy heart and much sorrow this College which I have loved and to which I have devoted thirty-four years of my life. I wish you all success in bringing it to the flourishing state it so richly deserves. And I shall not think that I am leaving behind the many friends among faculty, administration, students, staff, alumnae and trustees, only that I shall not see you so often.”
The early letters are of particular interest as a record of the way in which faculty members of the time were selected. Hesitation on the part of President Warren centered on doubts about the degree to which Trinkaus would be an effective teacher of young women; Trinkaus, understanding the need to assure Ms. Warren, writes that he will be married within the year (1936) and conveys interest in the initial teaching appointment at Sarah Lawrence. The letters of recommendation sent to support Trinkaus’s candidature are interfiled with correspondence between Trinkaus and Warren.
Trinkaus’s interest in the role of the social sciences and the shape of the curriculum at SLC is a highlight of the papers filed under “Committee and Curriculum.” There is also material concerning Trinkaus’s work as director of SLC’s summer session in Italy (Florence), copies of syllabi used by Trinkaus in his classes at SLC, course descriptions and proposals written by him, as well as a collection of papers written by some of his students.
A speech prepared for the opening of the school year in 1960, which was delivered by Trinkaus to commemorate the beginning of SLC’s thirty-third year, is a document full of details concerning the history of the school. It is at the same time, however, an obvious vehicle through which Trinkaus was able to make his plea for a “reconciliation of humanism and science which has become an urgent responsibility of American education in the world of the 1960s.”
Records regarding his years on the faculty at the University of Michigan (1970-1982), in addition to papers related to Trinkaus’s appointment as a visiting professor at UCLA (Winter 1976) and to his position as Associate in Columbia University’s Seminar on the Renaissance (1945 until his death), are included in this series.
This chronological arrangement encompasses correspondence spanning more than fifty years and includes correspondents from Trinkaus’s professional and personal life. Given the historical nature of his work and the international network of colleagues with whom Trinkaus collaborated on numerous scholarly projects, this series of records is necessarily one that represents a broad spectrum of interests and topics.
There are hundreds of letters from former students, fellow scholars, and individuals in the publishing world; interspersed among them are letters from Trinkaus family members and close friends who may or may not share Trinkaus’s scholarly interests.
The volume of correspondence is of interest not only for its varied content, but also for the way in which it traces written forms of personal expression over more than five decades.
The folders making up this series reveal the energy with which Trinkaus pursued involvement with numerous organizations and conferences related to his fields of interest.
Almost without exception, Trinkaus participated, even if minimally, in the conferences (seminars, colloquia) that comprise this series. More often than not, his contribution took the form of a paper or a lecture; generally, those presentations were later published—either in a collection or in various scholarly journals as independent articles. His published writings are housed in Series 5 (“Scholarly Writings and Related Materials”).
Because his research and writings were often related to particular conferences and professional organizations, it is necessary to consult both Series 5 and Series 3 (“General Correspondence”) for the most complete picture of the rapport between his various activities.
The folders in this series typically hold flyers and invitations, as well as correspondence from organizers or principals of organizations. In some cases, the overlap between the contents of these folders and those in Series 5 is considerable.
Special attention in the citations that follow is paid to folders that contain articles or papers written by colleagues of Trinkaus.
Of particular note in this series is the material devoted to the Conference on Late Medieval and Renaissance Religion (1972), which Trinkaus organized and hosted at the University of Michigan. There is the steady correspondence between Trinkaus and his colleagues, as well as drafts of his original proposal and handwritten notes taken during the meetings at the conference. This ambitious undertaking led to the publication in 1974 of the conference papers in a book entitled The Pursuit of Holiness in Late Medieval and Renaissance Religion. See Series 5 for more on this book.
Trinkaus’s deep and extended involvement with The Renaissance Society of America is represented here by correspondence covering more than forty years (including a 1953 letter of invitation to join the Society as a founding member) and by speeches presented when he accepted the Paul Oskar Kristeller Award in 1997.
The conference files are arranged chronologically by the date indicated in the folder list. In some instances, for example the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Trinkaus’s connection with an organization was established through his interest in financial assistance (grant-in-aid, fellowship, etc.). These and all other organizations are arranged alphabetically at the end of the chronology.
The largest series of records in the Trinkaus Papers, his scholarly writings and materials related to them demonstrate the prolific way in which Trinkaus wrote and published over more than sixty years.
Included in these folders are texts of entire books, articles, chapters, speeches, and book reviews written by Trinkaus, as well as correspondence with editors and colleagues with whom he collaborated on various publishing endeavors.
Because of the highly interrelated nature of Trinkaus’s projects, it is necessary to consult the files in Series 3 (“General Correspondence”) and those in Series 4 (“Conferences and Professional Organizations”) in order to cover thoroughly the landscape of his research methodology and his far-reaching network of colleagues.
Of particular note is the international correspondence in which Trinkaus became immersed over a period of years in his effort to bring to fruition the festschrift for Paul Oskar Kristeller. That book, Philosophy and Humanism: Renaissance Essays in Honor of Paul Oskar Kristeller, was published in l976 and includes a chapter by Trinkaus entitled “Protagoras in the Renaissance: An Exploration.” Although Trinkaus was not recognized as the volume’s official editor, he was named to the original editorial advisory board and played a critical editorial role throughout the project.
With the exception of his book reviews, records are arranged chronologically by publication date, when date is available; the writings that were not published (some of which were written in the form of speeches or lectures) are filed by the dates indicated on the manuscripts. Undated materials are arranged alphabetically by title at the end of the list of published and unpublished “articles, chapters, and speeches.”
The book reviews by Trinkaus are represented in the final entries on this list of scholarly writings.
A folder containing bibliographies, detailing the titles written or edited by Trinkaus, is found at the end of this series. One of the bibliographies is entitled “Publications by Charles Trinkaus, Compiled by Pauline Moffitt Watts and Thomas M. Izbicki”; the document is identified as a “draft” and carries the date “9-91.”
These papers function as a complement to the materials found in Series 5 (“Scholarly Writings and Related Materials”).
Because the handwritten notes and background information of other types are so diverse and so abundant, it is not always possible to link specific notes to specific speeches or publications. Indeed, a fair amount of the material in this series is not related directly to Trinkaus’s own writings. There are texts that represent summaries and critiques of the work of authors known and unknown. It is fairly certain that many of these notes were used for the purposes of class lectures; however, Trinkaus did not usually identify them as “lecture notes.”
Generally, the papers in this series are arranged by subject. When the relationship to a particular publication effort is precise, those folders are arranged by the title of the product from which the research led.
