Spain-Europe intellectual networks in the development of antiquarianism and epigraphy: consolidation phase (1521-1570)
From 1/09/2024 until 31/12/2028. PI: Gerard González Germain. PID2023-150246NA-C22.
This project is coordinated with another one at the Universitat de Barcelona (PI: Xavier Espluga), which focuses on the initial phase taken into consideartion (1480-1521).
The project, in its entirety, aims to study the creation, transmission, circulation, and uses of epigraphic and antiquarian information among European humanist networks in the period between 1480 and 1570.
The coordinated subproject, based at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, will focus on the period between 1521 and 1570, namely, from the publication of the first printed collection of Roman inscriptions (Epigrammata antiquae urbis, Rome 1521) to the establishment of the new post-Tridentine thought trends. During this period, Rome became the undisputed focus of antiquarian studies, and there the main epigraphic networks were established among humanists (Italian, but also Spanish and from Northern Europe) residing in the city between the papacies of Paul III and Paul IV.
