Studies on medicine and the human body from Antiquity to the Renaissance and beyond, working towards the authority of Vesalius.

Through an in-depth analysis of humanist historiography from the Low Countries, this book demonstrates the crucial importance of the Middle Ages for a political rhetoric in which the self-presentation of the historian and the definition of their homeland played a key role.

Proceedings of the twenty-first international conference on Propertius, Assisi - Cannara, 30 May - 1 June 2016. The 2016 conference's aim was to place Propertius in context. The papers focused on the compatibility between the choice of the elegiac form and the political framework, with special emphasis on Propertius' relationship to Tullus before his approach to Maecenas and the more direct contact with Augustus subsequent to Maecenas' removal.
