Saints Women & Humanists In Renaissance

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.
