Orthographies in Early Modern Europe (2012. VI, 383 S. 230 mm)

§16§§This volume provides, for the first time, a pan-European view of the development of written languages at a key time in their history: that of the 16th century. The major cultural and intellectual upheavals that affected Europe at the time - Humanism, the Reformation and the emergence of modern nation-states - were not isolated phenomena, and the evolution of the orthographical systems of European languages shows a large number of convergences, due to the mobility of scholars, ideas and technological innovations throughout the period.§ §02§Susan Baddeley, University of Versailles-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France, and Anja Voeste, University of Gießen, Germany.
