Tradition and Innovation in an Era of Change/Tradition und Innovation im Übergang zur Frühen Neuzeit

Edited by Rudolf Suntrup and Jan R. Veenstra. Ten essays - four of them in german, six in english - explore the historical developments in the transition from medieval to early modern time, focussing on the relation between tradition and innovation on three levels: (1) perceptions of the world and changing geographical boundaries; (2) literary activity in the social environment of towns and humanist circles; and (3) new modes of interpretation and representation in intellectual history. 282 Seiten mit zwei Farb- und 20 s/w-Tafeln, broschiert (Medieval to Early Modern Culture/Kultureller Wandel vom Mittelalter zur Frühen Neuzeit; Vol. 1/Peter Lang Verlag 2001) Mängelexemplar/near mint
