Renaissance Craftsmen and Humanistic Scholars:
European Circulation of Knowledge between Portugal and Germany

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP | 20-21 nov. '14 | Auditório BNP | Free entrance

 

The International Workshop Renaissance Craftsmen and Humanistic Scholars: European Circulation of Knowledge between Portugal and Germany deals with the circulation of scientific and technological knowledge in the early modern period.

 

First relations between Germany and Portugal started already in the Middle Ages, but it was only during the time of the Portuguese discoveries when German trading houses established permanent factories in Lisbon in the end of the 15th Century. How was scientific and technical knowledge transferred in the Renaissance between craftsmen and humanistic scholars? To respond to this interesting question, 13 papers will be presented by international researchers on our multilingual workshop.

Organisation: Thomas HORST (CIUHCT, Lisbon), Henrique LEITÃO (CIUHCT, Lisbon), Marília dos SANTOS LOPES (CECC, Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Lisbon) and the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal.
