The Information Revolution in Early Modern Europe
This provocative new history of early modern Europe argues that changes in the generation, preservation and circulation of information, chiefly on newly available and affordable paper, constituted an 'information revolution'. In commerce, finance, statecraft, scholarly life, science, and communication, early modern Europeans were compelled to place a new premium on information management. These developments had a profound and transformative impac…
Information Revolution in Early Modern Europe
Variété et abondance. La copia et l’histoire de l’Europe des débuts de l’époque moderne
Pour de nombreux Européens du début de l’époque moderne figurait parmi les nouveautés de leur époque une copia d’informations, qui était perçue à la fois comme une abondance et une variété. La profusion de livres qui a accompagné l’avènement de la presse à imprimer est largement connue, mais cette période a également vu émerger un nombre sans précédent d’autres flux d’informations. Avec l’adoption généralisée d’instruments de papier qui enregistr…
Secretaries and Statecraft in the Early Modern World
Chapter 1 Introduction
John C. Rule and Ben S. Trotter, A World of Paper
Seigneurs et Condottières
Machiavelli may have complained vociferously about condottieri and their injurious impact on the martial spirit of Italy, but there is no escaping their importance in late medieval and Renaissance Italy. They not only constituted society’s military elite, but also, in recompense for their military successes, featured prominently among the peninsula’s land-holding aristocracy. A select few, such as the Sforza in Milan and the Gonzaga in Mantua, es…
Machiavelli
Machiavelli: A Portrait, by Christopher S. Celenza. Cambridge, Harvard University Press, 2015. 256 pp. $24.95 US (cloth). What is there left to say about Niccolo Machiavelli? We are amid a flurry of anniversaries marking five hundred years since important milestones in Machiavelli's life. It seems that every year we are treated to more and more speculative texts, of greater and lesser degrees of seriousness, that attempt to apply the supposed ins…
Gender and Development Cooperation
Work with men and boys for gender equality and women and girls' empowerment has reached a stage of critical mass within development cooperation. Efforts are now needed to scale up interventions and to embed them in policy and practice. The article is written from the perspective of development bureaucracy and examines the background and the current contexts for work with men and boys and suggests main entry points for future developments

"Saper la mente della soa Beatitudine"
Cet article examine la pratique des ambassadeurs envoyés par les états italiens à la cour du pape Paul II (1464–71), en se concentrant en particulier sur la façon dont ils ont assumé leur rôle d’informateur. Puisque Paul était un pape instable, impénétrable et souvent inaccessible, les ambassadeurs ont souvent été dans l’obligation d’obtenir des informations au sujet du pape et de ses intentions de manière indirecte. En s’appuyant largement sur l…
The Economic Predicament of Italian Renaissance Ambassadors
This article examines the character and sources of the many complaints about money heard in the dispatches of ambassadors in the second half of the fifteenth century in Italy. In a period when ambassadors increasingly served for long periods of time as residents in a single locale, infrequency of regular remuneration became commonplace, as Italian states, with their lengthening list of pecuniary obligations, were notoriously unreliable paymasters…
