Uwe Israel, Marius Kraus, Ludovica Sasso (Eds.): Agonale Invektivität. Konstellationen und Dynamiken der Herabsetzung im italienischen und deutschen Humanismus

What does humanism mean, who belongs to the humanists? This was clarified by contemporaries, not least through diatribes. The authors of the 17th volume of the “Beihefte” (supplements) to the journal “Das Mittelalter. Perspektiven mediävistischer Forschung" examine in an interdisciplinary synopsis these mutual personal disparagements as a means of asserting one's own positions.
