Reproductive Unfreedom and Structural Violence in Early Modern Catholic Europe
This article argues that reproductive unfreedom was a form of structural violence that significantly constrained poor women’s and children’s lives across early modern Catholic Europe. Reproductive freedom entails parents’ ability to raise their own children safely and sustainably. This was impossible for the thousands of poor women who were forced to delegate their mothering by abandoning children to foundling hospitals, where mortality rates wer…
Care Work and the Family in Catholic Reformation Tuscany
This article examines the care work undertaken by wet-nurses employed by Florence's foundling hospital, the Spedale degli Innocenti. Left in a basin outside the Innocenti, infants were nursed for a few days in the hospital before being assigned to the homes of wet-nurses living in the villages and remote sharecropped farms of rural Tuscany. Some wet-nurses committed 'fraud' - so labelled by the institution - by contriving to receive a wage for we…
The Literary Culture of the Renaissance Venetian Empire
This article examines a corpus of fifteenth-century geographical and epigraphical literature representing the Venetian Mediterranean empire. It was collected and read by Venetian patrician men who were both humanists and part of the political class that governed Venice and its empire. Navigating between literary analysis and history of the book, the article first examines the Venetian legacy of the writings of Cyriac d’Ancona, before investigatin…
Daughters of Venice
In Light of Another’s Word
Shirin A. Khanmohamadi’s study of medieval ethnographic writing is the latest contribution to an ever-expanding field of research on medieval travel writing, constructions of otherness, and the provocative connections between postcolonial approaches and medieval literature. Her book makes a distinctive contribution to this field by taking as its subject medieval ethnographic descriptions, by Gerald of Wales on the Welsh, William of Rubruck on the…
Peter N. Miller, Peiresc’s Mediterranean World
Pilgrim and Preacher
The late medieval friar and pilgrim Felix Fabri is the complex subject of Kathryne Beebe’s engaging and original contribution to medieval literary and devotional studies. Fabri is perhaps best known for his pilgrimage narratives describing the Holy Land and Egypt, which are often mined for their colourful details about Cairo’s famed egg incubators or the pilgrims’ seasickness during the Mediterranean crossing. However, in Beebe’s study, Fabri eme…
Venice and the Veneto during the Renaissance
I was not fortunate enough to meet Benjamin Kohl, the historian of medieval and Renaissance Venice and Veneto to whom this volume pays tribute. But, in common with many other historians of Venice, I have had many occasions to be thankful for Kohl’s work, as he was dedicated to making unpublished archival sources from the seemingly impenetrable Archivio di Stato in Venice available digitally and free online. Aside from his many books and articles—…

Before Orientalism
In this richly detailed discussion of later medieval European travellers’ accounts describing eastern Asia, Kim Phillips argues for a distinctively pre-colonial set of attitudes towards Asian peoples, cultures and spaces that was marked, not by a desire to possess, but by wonder, curiosity and pleasure at their diversity. Phillips’s argument hinges on two comparisons, one geographical and the second chronological. Geographically, the travellers’ …
Humanism and Colonial Governance in the Venetian Ageaen
In this article, I examine the autobiographical writing and reading practices of Giovanni Bembo, a colonial governor posted to Skopelos and Skiathos in the Aegean in 1525. During his term as rettore in the Aegean, Bembo’s scribe had an affair with his daughter and helped her to abort her ensuing pregnancy. Bembo then ordered the scribe to be publicly castrated. In the aftermath of this violent act, Bembo was blacklisted from any further governmen…
