Volume 87 of the Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes Now Available
Volume LXXXVII (2024) of the Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes has now been published, offering new research on the history of art, ideas, and cultural transmission across different periods and regions.
This year’s issue features a wide-ranging selection of articles. John Osborne explores the visual culture of Giovanni Colombini and the Jesuati, while Simon J. G. Burton examines Christocentric encyclopedism from Nicholas of Cusa to Bernard de Lavinheta. Kimberley Skelton investigates the physicality of Early Modern memory spaces and their role in communicating knowledge and shaping attitudes. Federica Gigante and Andrew Burnett discuss Isaac Casaubon’s study of Arabic and Turkish coins within a European network of change.
Other contributions include Theodore Delwiche’s study of student groups in early American colleges and Michał Mencfel’s investigates the history of a reliquary containing objects associated with Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca) and his legendary lover Laura. The issue also presents two shorter notes: Sebastiano Gentile revisits the reappearance of Hermes in fifteenth-century Florence, and Henri de Riedmatten offers new insights into the graffiti left in the wake of the Sack of Rome.
