Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seventeenth‐century virtuosi often figured themselves as epistemic weeders, grubbing up rank thickets of accumulated error.

Framing Peninsular Crypto‐Jews as Part of the Sephardic Diaspora
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT When we talk about the Sephardic diaspora, we often talk about Iberian conversos who leave the Peninsula, supposedly to live openly as Jews in places like Algiers, Venice, Amsterdam or the Ottoman Empire.

Text as tape: On the voice in the late prose of Friederike Mayröcker
Orbis Litterarum, Volume 81, Issue 3, Page 248-270, June 2026.Abstract For a text to have a voice means to be caught in a paradox: the text obviously does not speak, so what is that tone rising from the pages?
