Alejandro Coroleu acaba de publicar a Cambridge Scholar Publishing el llibre Printing and Reading Italian Latin Humanism in Renaissance Europe (c. 1470-c. 1540). En reproduïm la presentació editorial:

With the advent of the printing press throughout Europe in the last quarter of the fifteenth century, the key Latin texts of Italian humanism began to be published outside Italy, most of them by a small group of printers who, in most cases, worked in close collaboration with lecturers and teachers. This study provides the first comprehensive account of the dissemination of this important literary corpus in Spain, France, the Low Countries and the German-speaking world between ca. 1470 and ca. 1540. By combining an examination of book production and consumption with attention to the educational system of Renaissance Europe, this book highlights both the historical significance of the Latin literature of Italian humanism within the school and university curriculum of the time, and the impact of such a body of texts on the rising national literary traditions, in Latin and in the vernacular, of the period. Printing and Reading Italian Latin Humanism in Renaissance Europe will appeal to scholars of classical and Renaissance literature, and to anyone interested in intellectual history and in the history of education in the Renaissance. It will be of particular interest to scholars in Hispanic studies.

L'Institut de Llengua i Cultura Catalanes de la Universitat de Girona organitza el segon curs d'estiu en línia de cuina catalana i europea medieval. L'any passat va ser el curs d'estiu amb
més estudiants de tota la UdG (68), i aquest any hi tornem. Es tracta de cursos de divulgació, on, per posar un exemple, es proposen reinterpretacions, de la mà de cuiners d'avui, de velles receptes de la cuina medieval. Comptem amb la col·laboració de cuiners i professionals de la restauració com André Bonnaure i Josep Roca, i amb grans medievalistes com ara, per citar només un nom, Paul Freedman, catedràtic de la Universitat de Yale i una autoritat en la història de les espècies.

Acaba d'aparèixer el llibre d'Albert Lloret sobre Ausiàs March a la impremta antiga: Albert Lloret, Printing Ausiàs March: Material Culture and Renaissance Poetics.

"Focused on two sixteenth-century editions of a medieval Valencian author (Ausiàs March, 1400-59), this book examines how the material transformations of early modern poetic texts at different stages in their publication process—from the making of the printer’s copy, to the typesetting and editing of the book in the printing shop—entailed thorough changes in the meaning of March's corpus. Printers Juan Navarro in Valencia and, especially, Carles Amorós in Barcelona were responsible for widely disseminating Ausiàs March’s verses in Renaissance Spain while, at the same time, assimilating March’s works to other distinct poetics of even higher authority and influence. Notwithstanding the discrepancies between both editorial projects—one indebted with cancionero poetry, the other with classical models—the role of Petrarch’s vernacular poetry in the overall shaping of both editions was paramount and reveals the existence of remarkably similar interpretive communities in the intellectual circles of the Duke of Calabria and the Duke of Somma, sponsors of the volumes studied here."
