Abstract
|
:
|
This book is a major contribution to the study of the encounter between Europeans and non-Europeans in the early modern period and to a neglected aspect of the cultural transformation of Europe throughout the Renaissance. The book proposes a novel approach to the study of European attitudes towards non-Europeans.
