The present volume is intended to fill this void, representing the first-ever collection of essays that deal with multiple types of language contact and cross-cultural exchanges in and with respect to Renaissance Italy (1300-1600). We bring diverse disciplinary perspectives together: literary scholars, historians, and linguists with different regional expertise; we argue for multilingualism and language contact as products of a period of dynamic change which cannot be fully grasped through a single framework. The contributions present a variety of case-studies by often cross-fertilising their approaches with other disciplinary lenses. This book aims to provide a comprehensive picture of a truly global Renaissance Italy where languages, textual traditions, and systems of knowledge from different geographical areas either combined or clashed. It takes a fresh approach to the history of late medieval and early modern Italy by focusing on East\/West linguistic and cultural encounters, transmission of ideas and texts, multilingualism in literature (various genres and various forms of multilingualism), translation practices, reception\/adaptation of new knowledge, transculturalism and literary exchanges, and the relationship between languages and language varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brepols Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47888564322455,"sku":"9782503601816","price":14048.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9782503601816.webp?v=1781166750","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/languages-and-cross-cultural-exchanges-in-renaissance-italy-9782503601816","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
