Interdisciplinary essays that examine the connections of early modern Italian convents, and how these networks were expressed through texts, art, architecture, music, gift and favour exchange, real estate development, and other modes of expression.

This book engages with the complex interplay between urbanisation and inequality. In doing so it concentrates on the Low Countries, one of the oldest and most urbanised societies of Europe.

50^th volume in the book series Studies in European Urban History (1100-1800)

"The book is a major achievement, and stands as the most authoritative account in any language of Josquin’s life and works.”
