Dear colleagues, I wanted to bring to your attention two recent publications, tied to a past AHRC research project shared between Warwick and the Warburg Institute:

-last month the database Vernacular Aristotelianism in Renaissance Italy, c. 1400–c. 1650 was released on a new, more user-friendly platform, thanks to the work of Dr Bryan Brazeau.
The new URL is as follows: vari.warwick.ac.uk We invite you to visit the new site and get back to us with any comments and suggestions.

-fresh off the press is Vernacular Aristotelianism in Italy from the Fourteenth to the Seventeenth Century, ed. by Luca Bianchi, Simon Gilson and Jill Kraye (London: The Warburg Institute, 2016; Warburg Institute Colloquia 29), ISBN 978-1-908590-52-7.
