This collection investigates the wide array of local antiquarian
practices that developed across Europe in the early modern era.
Breaking new ground, it explores local concepts of antiquity in a
period that has been defined as a uniform 'Renaissance'.
Contributors take a novel approach to the revival of the antique in
different parts of Italy, as well as examining other, less widely
studied antiquarian traditions in France, the Netherlands, Spain,
Portugal, Britain and Poland. They consider how real or fictive
ruins, inscriptions and literary works were used to demonstrate a
particular idea of local origins, to rewrite history or to vaunt
civic pride. In doing so, they tackle such varied subjects as
municipal antiquities collections in Southern Italy and France, the
antiquarian response to the pagan, Christian and Islamic past on
the Iberian Peninsula, and Netherlandish interest in megalithic
ruins thought to be traces of a prehistoric race of Giants. -- .
