Art historians have long looked to letters to secure biographical details; clarify relationships between artists and patrons; and present artists as modern, self-aware individuals. This book takes a novel approach: focusing on Albrecht Dürer, Shira Brisman is the first to argue that the experience of writing, sending, and receiving letters shaped how he treated the work of art as an agent for communication. In the early modern period, before the establishment of a reliable postal system, letters faced risks of interception and delay. During the Reformation, the printing press threatened to expose intimate exchanges and blur the line between public and private life. Exploring the complex travel patterns of sixteenth-century missives, Brisman explains how these issues of sending and receiving informed Dürer's artistic practices. His success, she contends, was due in large part to his development of pictorial strategies-an epistolary mode of address-marked by a direct, intimate appeal to the viewer, an appeal that also acknowledged the distance and delay that defers the message before it can reach its recipient. As images, often in the form of prints, coursed through an open market, and artists lost direct control over the sale and reception of their work, Germany's chief printmaker navigated the new terrain by creating in his images a balance between legibility and concealment, intimacy and public address.

Aux éducateurs diligents et aux parents attentifs. La "Civilité puérile" est l'un des textes fondateurs de la civilisation des moeurs en Occident. Ecrit en 1530 à l'intention de très jeunes enfants, ce mince opuscule couronne l'oeuvre pédagogique d'Erasme et institue le genre du manuel de savoir-vivre. Indispensable à tous les spécialistes de l'enfance, de son histoire comme de son éducation, ce livre se révèlera très utile aux parents d'aujourd'hui qui y trouveront les conseils avisés d'un humaniste sur la manière de s'occuper de leur enfant. Car leur bambin n'est pas né homme, et il ne deviendra un homme accompli que s'ils prennent dès maintenant son éducation en main, en lui apprenant notamment à se tenir correctement à table, à bien se comporter en rue ou au jeu, à parler à bon escient, à saluer un aîné, à se conduire comme il convient à l'heure du coucher, à vivre avec les autres... Ce premier apprentissage est plus que jamais indispensable, et n'est-ce pas aux parents qu'il incombe d'y veiller ?
