Abstract

The essays in this volume examine the impact of printing on the expression, representation, and reproduction of sanctity on the Italian peninsula between 1400 and 1600 and how the imperatives of cult were expressed in various media, both old and new. In so doing, they advance a fuller and more nuanced understanding of both cult and media, and mark the nexus of cult and media as a site of cultural production and innovation. They are thus initial steps in a new area and an invitation to further study of saints of all sorts--canonized, popularly recognized, or self-proclaimed--in the fluid media environment of early modernity.
