Her Immaculate Hand: Selected Works by and about the Women Humanists of Quattrocento Italy

"King and Rabil translate 24 texts-letters, orations, and encomia. Many of these fascinating documents have never before been published; the Latin originals are available only in manuscript form. Among other things, these texts reveal a much wider range of literary and intellectual activity by women than hitherto supposed, while also revealing the constraints placed on aspiring women humanists. This collection is an invaluable aid to understanding the roles of women in both Renaissance culture and intellectual history."King, Margaret L. is the author of 'Her Immaculate Hand: Selected Works by and about the Women Humanists of Quattrocento Italy', published 1983 under ISBN 9780866980234 and ISBN 0866980237.
