Synopsis

This volume brings together the published academic essays of the Renaissance historian Patricia Hochschild Labalme (1927-2002). Appearing between 1955 and 1999, they deal with the intellectual, social and religious life of Venice in the 15th-16th centuries. An important focus is the exploration of the careers, milieu and writings of cultural and literary women of early modern Venice, a field to which the author made a particular contribution.

Review:

'Patricia Labalme was a polymath and adroit student of religious, cultural, and intellectual life in Renaissance Venice whose works continue to provide in equal measure insights and inspiration...' Renaissance Quarterly 'Labalme's impressive familiarity with archival sources and her persistence in following wherever documentary evidence led her make her writing informative about social practice, humanistic values, and governmental process in Venice on such varied subjects as marriage customs, sodomy laws, and women's education... This volume provides, moreover, lasting testimony to Patricia Labalme's scholarly sensitivity and accomplishment.' Early Modern Women Journal
