A spatial analysis of their urban implantation shows that the houses were mostly situated in a circle outside the old town centre, thus surrounding the town from all sides. Further study of the Mendicant Orders in the social space of the urban network shows close connections between the lay inhabitants and the mendicants.

I propose a new dating of the booklist: shortly after 1494 and I examine critically Chéreau's attribution of the list to a bookseller in Tours. This article together with a diplomatic edition of the booklist with identification of the texts can be retrieved on the Rénumar website of the CESR in Tours: http://renumar.univ-tours.fr An English version will be published shortly in "Studi di Storia Medioevale e di Diplomatica".

The first group of texts—the Gospel of Nicodemus and La vengence Vaspasien (“The Revenge of Emperor Vespasian”, ff. 1r-86r)—is signed with the words: “Cest liure est a Nicole de Bretaigne qui le trouuera cy li rende et elle poyra bien le vin” (“This book belongs to Nicole de Bretaigne; she will pour a good quantity of wine for the finder who returns it”; Paris, Bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, MS 5366, f. 86r). This note is written in the same color ink as the preceding texts and in the same handwriting. Starting on the verso side of this leaf a slightly different hand, most likely a reader, has added three short fragments in French based on the Gospels. The thematic unity of these later additions suggests that they were the result of the spiritual needs and preferences of an owner of this manuscript, most likely a laywoman. Although the involvement of professional scribes cannot be ruled out entirely, this article will argue that one or several laypeople, most likely women, were responsible for the production of this manuscript.

Religious Reading in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe offer an innovative approach to the study of religious reading from a long term and geographically broad perspective, covering the period from the thirteenth to the seventeenth century and with a specific focus on the fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries. Challenging traditional research paradigms, the contributions argue that religious reading in this “long fifteenth century” should be described in terms of continuity. They make clear that in spite of confessional divides, numerous reading practices continued to exist among medieval and early modern readers, as well as among Catholics and Protestants, and that the two groups in certain cases even shared the same religious texts.

Abstract Medieval mapmaking is often thought to have been above all 'unscientific' and 'symbolic'. Recent publications have, however, revived the interest in local maps and plans from the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period by unearthing forgotten documents from the archives that are sometimes the result of advanced land-measuring techniques. Local maps are also important records of the representation of identities, or of changing spatial conceptualizations. Finally, digital techniques such as GIS and His-GIS offer exciting new possibilities for reproducing and re-using these historical documents for spatial analyses.
PUblic REnaissance: Urban Cultures of Public Space between Early Modern Europe and the Present is... more PUblic REnaissance: Urban Cultures of Public Space between Early Modern Europe and the Present is a three-year project funded by the Humanities in European Research Area (HERA), involving researchers from universities in Italy, Germany the Netherlands, Spain and the UK. Our aim is to examine how public spaces, from street-corners to major city squares, were shaped by the everyday activities of ordinary city-dwellers between 1450 and 1700.
We have five primary case studies, Exeter, Deventer, Hamburg, Valencia and Trento, with the potential to expand to other European cities. Each case study draws attention to places of sociability and communication, places where goods, knowledge, and news were produced, sold, and consumed, and where civic or ecclesiastical authority was enforced and contested. Each case study also has a strong focus on material culture. We look at how traces of the early modern past often remain inscribed in the built environment today. Additionally, and in collaboration with the museum/heritage sector, we examine period objects, from armour to cheap print, that were associated with specific urban sites and which now sit in museums and archives.
