Tempi e spazi di vita femminile tra Medioevo ed età moderna

This collection offers a variety of approaches to aspects of women’s lives. It moves beyond men’s prescriptive pronouncements about female nature to women's lived experiences, replacing the singular woman with plural women and illuminating female agency. The contributors show that women’s lives changed over the life course and differed according to region and social class. They also demonstrate that in the early modern period the largely private spaces in women’s lives were not enclosed worlds isolated from the public spaces in which men operated. Contributors to this important collection are leading international scholars and offer strong, substantial, and archival-based research.

In 1516, Erasmus of Rotterdam's version of the New Testament, featuring the editio princeps of the Greek text, a revised Latin translation and comprehensive annotations, was published by Johann Froben in Basel. The edition proved to be of great significance for the history of scholarship and books. This volume is based on a conference held in Basel in anticipation of the first edition's forthcoming 500th anniversary. Contributions by 15 internationally acknowledged specialists provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research results on this epochal edition. Contributors: Patrick Andrist, Marie Barral-Baron, Andrew J. Brown, Christine Christ-von Wedel, Ignacio Garcinilla, Kaspar von Greyerz, Sundar Henny, August den Hollander, Jan Krans, Greta Kroeker, Miekske van Poll-van de Lisdonk, Erika Rummel, Valentina Sebastiani, Silvana Seidel Menchi, Mark Vessey, Martin Wallraff
