Reviews
'[a] richly illustrated and fascinating and convincing work in its argument.' Felicitas Schmieder, Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken
'As well as illuminating the cultural and intellectual history of the Serenissima at this time, the book also constitutes a significant new contribution to the study of early modern global history and mobility by shedding light on the flow of ideas, texts, and images that circulated between and around Europe and the Americas through a variety of different media.' Rosa Salzberg, Journal of Modern History
