(mainly the Tuscan and the Germanic), but the decision to include works from places such as Verona, Padua, and Friuli before they came under the control of the Venetian state is more problematic. On the other hand, the section on Veneto-Cretan painting’s adoption of the Man of Sorrows is highly effective. Another strength of the study is its attention to terminology. The tracing of the development of the term Cristo passo is particularly astute. No doubt this book will serve as an essential resource for scholars studying any late medieval or early modern depiction of the dead Christ, not only in Venice and the Veneto, but also further afield. Its vast bibliography, fine index, and extensive endnotes make it an excellent reference tool, and the discursive notes make some striking points, including a reference to the presence of a tattoo of Florigerio’s sprawling Dead Christ (ca. 1530) on the soccer star David Beckham’s chest! However, the absence of dimensions in the captions and list of illustrations is a surprising omission, which sometimes makes it harder to evaluate the authors’ contentions about the relationship between artworks. The illustrations themselves are impressive and include many little-known objects in far-flung or difficult-to-access venues. More energetic editing might have tightened up the text and smoothed out some stilted phrasing.

Esther Inglis (ca. 1570–1624), a Franco-Scottish writer, is known for her manuscript books, written in many handwriting styles and decorated with pen or brushwork in black-and-white or color. About twenty-five of her sixty or so surviving manuscripts contain self-portraits, which until now have not been examined in detail. This essay surveys the developing author portrait in manuscript and print for French women writers, along with portrait engravings and miniatures, considering their influence on Inglis. It shows further how she created a self within the broader context of transnational Protestant humanism and poetics, crossing boundaries of gender, language, and nationality.

This article examines the chivalric encounters organized on the occasion of the Joyous Entry of Prince Philip in the Low Countries in 1549–50. It poses the question as to how they functioned as a performative tool to enhance cohesion among the nobles of the Habsburg composite state. The tournaments served as a regulated outlet for noble violence, controlled by the prince and his closest collaborators. In this way, they both created and cemented the bonds of knightly brotherhood within the entourage of the household, while at the same time reaching out to others who did not (yet) belong to the new prince's circle.

knights deprive the narrative of a central focus, they reverberate with each other through formulaic language and decorations, allowing readers to fi ll in the missing parts.
