Literary history before the nation-state: The Vulgate Bible in the streets of Padua, 1580

<p>This talk relates to a project funded by a European Research Council Advanced grant to produce, for Oxford University Press, a multi-contributor publication entitled Europe in the World: A Literary History, 1529-1683 (<a href="https://www.qmul.ac.uk/textdiveglobal/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.qmul.ac.uk/textdiveglobal/</a>; grant agreement no. 101021262). I will briefly outline the shared framework for literary historiography used by the project, then offer a worked case-study from my own research. The main example will be a document listing extracts from the Bible (in Latin) that were put up around the city of Padua on the occasion of a bloody revolt on the part of foreign students in 1580. A translation will be provided.</p><p></p>
