Drawing on a range of sources, from inventories, account-books and contemporary literature, to visual representations of scholars at work, this text considers the study-room as a distinctive feature of Italian Renaissance culture and one which was to be exported all over Europe.

About the book >.>.> The study in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italy was a room designed by an individual for his or her own use, with its own distinct and private character. It could be used as an office, consulting room, library, family archive or treasury; it could house the nucleus of an art collection or offer a place for contemplation and for retreat from public affairs. To own such a room was to lay claim to the civility, polite manners and educated tastes that came to define the ruling elite in Renaissance Italy. Evolving from the convergence of two parallel traditions - the treasuries of cathedrals and royal and papal palaces, in which precious plate, vestments and manuscripts were stored and displayed, and the monastic cell as a space for study and reflection - studies have been seen as a predominantly courtly phenomenon. But they were created not only by princes and high-ranking churchmen, but by members of the administrative and professional classes - notaries, doctors of law and medicine, clerics, merchants and bankers.

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr.
