  The paths of humanism: professional mobility and cultural expansion during the Renaissance

If the exchange of letters and books was surely an important vector in the development of this movement, it is also important to consider this phenomenon in light of mobility, particularly the professional mobility of the learned adherents of these scholarly practices, by creating a dialogue between intellectual and social history.

  Construction Techniques and Writings on Architecture in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe

  Thematic issue of the journal Opus Incertum (Florence University Press)

To begin with, confrontations of texts on construction techniques with the material realities of extant buildings may reveal, for specific contexts, to what extent these texts operated as vehicles for the transmission of technical know-how, and how much weight they gave to topoi borrowed from ancient authors.
