Buyers and Sellers
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:Buyers and Sellers show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Buyers and SellersConsumption is now a critical issue in late medieval and early modern historical and cultural studies. While we know increasingly about regulatory systems, we know much less about the daily practice of buying and selling. This book brings together contributions from urban historians, social historians and art historians to explore the issues of exchange, shopping behavior, social interactions, gender and physical space. Contributions deal with Italy, the Low Countries and England.In the articles in this volume lines of continuity between the medieval and early modern period have been stressed. In addition, some critical questions have been raised. Were markets necessarily less "modern" compared to "fixed shops"? How did changing consumers and consumer patterns interact with the retailer? The essays published here also emphasize the need to study different commercial circuits in their context. These circuits often overlapped and could not artificially be isolated from one another.

Les 23 études ont été disposées de manière chronologique pour faciliter l'analyse de son évolution philologique, question qui a été au centre des débats. Les conférenciers ont bénéficié d'une documentation de choix, car ils ont le plus souvent travaillé sur les textes personnels de Rhenanus provenant de sa bibliothèque conservée à Sélestat.
Les Actes intéresseront quatre domaines de recherches : l'étude de la transmission des textes des auteurs grecs et latins, leur critique textuelle et exégétique, les techniques éditoriales au XVI siècle et la nature de l'humanisme.

Between the Natural and the Artificial. Dyestuffs and Medicines

Dyestuffs and Medicines show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: Between the Natural and the Artificial. Dyestuffs and MedicinesThis thematic volume consists of a selection of papers from the XXth International Congress of History of Science, which was held in Liège in 1997. Two separated symposia were concerned with the study of historical connections between such different scientific fields as chemistry, botany, pharmacy, medicine and their technical aspects. Natural products from plants and animals, and their artificial equivalents, which were especially studied and used for dyeing and for medicinal purposes, were discussed in both meetings. The various contributions of the present volume deal with many of these products in several countries (in Europe, Asia, Africa and America) from the medieval period to the XIXth century. The first part treats of some historical aspects of chemical and pharmaceutical questions related to selected dyestuffs. The second part deals with pharmaceutical products for medicinal and biological purposes. These studies should contribute to foster new interdisciplinary research in this field, which is bound to develop at the international level.
