current projects: sexdequiloquium

I'm also finishing up my contribution to the edition of the Sexdequiloquium, by Johannes de Rupescissa.  This text, composed c. 1352-53 was discovered by Sylvain Piron, who is heading up the edition. Piron describes the manuscript here:

beginning post

I thought I would begin this site with a short bibliography, otherwise known as what I'm reading this week:

Philip Hoffmann-Rehnitz, "Discontinuities: Political Transformation, Media Change, and the City in the Holy Roman Empire from the Fifteenth to the Seventeenth Centuries"

and Alexander Schlaak, "Overloaded Interaction: Effects of the Growing Use of Writing in German Imperial Cities, 1500-1800"

both in Jason Coy, ed., The Holy Roman Empire, Reconsidered

I'm mixing it up with Ottavia Niccoli's Prophecy and People in Renaissance Italy.

Although I'm not reading them on Googlebooks, I thought it might be useful to have the links.
