The untold story of the greatest library of the Renaissance and its creator Hernando Colón This engaging book offers the first comprehensive account of the extraordinary projects of Hernando Colón, son of Christopher Columbus, which culminated in the creation of the greatest library of the Renaissance, with ambitions to be universal--that is, to bring together copies of every book, on every subject and in every language. Pérez Fernández and Wilson-Lee situate Hernando's projects within the rapidly changing landscape of early modern knowledge, providing a concise history of the collection of information and the origins of public libraries, examining the challenges he faced and the solutions he devised. The two authors combine "meticulous research with deep and original thought," shedding light on the history of libraries and the organization of knowledge. The result is an essential reference text for scholars of the early modern period, and for anyone interested in the expansion and dissemination of information and knowledge.

La revue Italique est consacrée à l’étude de la poésie italienne de la Renaissance dans la période qui va de Pétrarque à l’âge baroque. Un véritable âge d’or, si l’on songe à l’archétype des Rerum vulgarium Fragmenta et aux canzonieri du XVIe siècle, mais aussi une époque pleine de contradictions, quand on pense au conflit du vulgaire avec l’humanisme latin au cours du « siècle sans poésie », de la mort de Pétrarque à Laurent le Magnifique. Le Tasse, Chiabrera et le Cavalier Marin, à la fin du XVIe siècle, ébranlent la toute-puissance des modèles classiques en procédant à la liquidation de l’idéal pétrarquiste. Cette poésie italienne, en latin et en langue vulgaire, a représenté des siècles durant la poésie par excellence et a constitué pour tous un modèle. Son intense maniérisme, la cadence harmonieuse de son style, qui faisaient autrefois son prix, la tiennent à l’écart du goût contemporain, si friand d’originalité.

The Book of Hours was a 'best-seller' in medieval and early modern Europe, the era's most commonly produced and owned book. This interdisciplinary study explores its increasing popularity and prestige, offering a full account of the Book of Hours as a book - how it was acquired, how it was read to guide prayer and teach literacy and what it meant to its owners as a personal possession. Based on the study of over 500 manuscripts and printed books from France, Virginia Reinburg combines a social history of the Book of Hours with an ethnography of prayer. Approaching the practice of prayer as both speech and ritual, she argues that a central part of the Book of Hours' appeal for lay people was its role as a bridge between the liturgy and the home. Reinburg describes how the Book of Hours shaped religious practice through the ways in which it was used.
