Hvmanistica. An International Journal of Early Renaissance Studies. II. 1/2. 2007

The journal &loque;Hvmanistica&roque; is resolutely collective in its outlook, international and multidisciplinary. Its value resides in the diversity of the schools, methods, studies and disciplines of its contributors. It aims to represent a nexus and the cutting edge both of and for research. Its geographical bias is mainly European and the time-period primarily covered goes from 13th-century proto-Humanism, which flourished especially in the subsequently Venetian territories between Padua, Vicenza and Verona, to the Italian High Renaissance and to the general European revival at the end of the 15th century - that is, from around 1250 to 1550 or even 1600.
Volumes are organised in three principal sections: 1. Specific Dossiers on themes, problems or figures relevant to the world of Italian and European Humanism, occasionally planned and edited (in concert with the journal editors) by one or more members of the Editorial Board; 2. A Miscellanea of the most diverse and independent articles (whether 'reflections' or full-blown studies); 3. Rassegna, offering (a) parallel and joint analysis of studies and editions, of books, exhibitions, or performances, or (b) portraits of modern scholars and of artists, intellectuals and cultural figures of the time.
