Edited by Lina Bolzoni e Sonia Maffei
A long season in Italian and European culture from the medieval period to the modern age has experimented in different ways with the relationship between verbal and visual signs. In the reflections of the humanists, as in daily life, the image was perceived as a highly-charged sign, at once able to both convey and conceal its meaning.
The aim of the Imagines Agentes Collection (whose title comes from the art of memory) is to publish little-known or previously unpublished books in which the link between literature and figurative art is particularly eloquent. The anastatic reproduction of richly illustrated manuscripts and prints will create works of extraordinary visual impact; an introductory essay, notes, and illustrations will provide the basic reading tools. The books will be accompanied by essays re-presenting a number of classic historiographical works, foreign texts translated into the Italian language, and new critiques.
