The essays in this book provide interesting contributions to the
ongoing debate concerning the representation of differing cultures,
i.e., the "image of the Other" in the early modern period . They
deal with images, projections, and perceptions, based on various
experiences of coexistence. Although the individual contributions
contain sources and references of iconography, this is not just
another volume of art history or visual studies. As examples of
practices in diverse historical contexts, the book includes a
variety of textual material, such as literary productions,
rhetorical exercises, dramatic applications, chronicles, epistles,
and diary-like historical accounts that express ethnographic
sensitivities. Thus, supported by a thorough research apparatus,
these studies propose a new cultural history of the early modern
coexistence of various communities, as identified in current
research by young scholars. Another novel feature of the volume is
the deliberate digression of traditional scholars' focus and the
investigation of rarely examined regions and practices.This
approach allows the contributors to spotlight their special areas
of research and to share a fresh new look at "the Renaissance. "
