We are delighted to announce the publication of Antiquarian Literature in the Sixteenth Century. Archaeology and Epigraphy in Printed Books and Manuscripts (De Gruyter 2024), edited by Joan Carbonell Manils and Gerard Gonzalez Germain.
This book explores how antiquarian literature (collections of inscriptions, treatises, letters…) developed throughout the sixteenth century, both in manuscript and in print; how both media interacted with each other, and how these printed antiquarian works were received, as attested by the manuscript annotations left by their early modern owners and readers.
The book includes chapters by several members of our previous project («European epigraphic-antiquarian literature in the first half of the 16th century. Printed books and manuscripts), which concluded in 2023: Marco Buonocore, Lorenzo Calvelli, Sandra Cano Aguilera, Joan Carbonell, Xavier Espluga, Gerard González Germain, Laura Lalli, William Stenhouse, and Ginette Vagenheim.
