Basel
Gentle Reader, If you think Basel is a center of the study of humanities–where Erasmus works at Froben’s press, and one can study Hebrew at the home of the Amerbachs or see Holbein painting around town–if you think Basel is a city of delight and learning, you will love Fort Worth, Texas.
Fort Worth
At least, during the last weekend in October of this year, when that city hosts the annual conference of the Sixteenth Century Society. Here, scholars of great renown will gather to discuss topics as diverse as educating children; crime and punishment; Islam and the Turks; book collecting; death; my old colleague, Martin Bucer; and puffer fish. By the muses! It will be as exciting as the Frankfort book fair. See the complete program.
Capito will be there.
