Saints Women and Humanists in Renaissance Venice

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.
