You know...the reason why I always want to finish with toujourspur12 is this...I mean, I understand - people in their one right; it’s their headcanon. Everything is right.

But one thing is to read headcanons you arctually like...and it’s totally different when you find something you even hypothetically can’t accept.

Pff...I don’t know if it’s only my thing...it’s just frustrating for me to the point that I only read 4 or 5 blogs on the subject lol

I’ve been meaning to make a masterpost with a list of books and articles for people interested in the Italian Renaissance - so, behold!  These are taken mostly from my own bookshelf, syllabi of classes I’ve taken, and bibliographies I’ve compiled for papers I’ve written.  I’ve tried to provide a broader overview of the Renaissance with more general topics, and not to give books that are too incredibly specific and not relevant unless you’re working specifically in topic.  I’ve also tried  to find PDFs or links for anything that you can access online.

I hope this is useful for anyone who’s interested in this period, and I will always be happy to answer questions or try to provide sources for more specific topics!

Thank you all! Luckily I’m getting better.

I’m seems I had a severe post-COVID condition ,that is strange because when I was ill in November it was a light case (less than 7days).

Though...maybe I should spend less time online and more in the open air🧐

I’ve had such a difficult day:((

No art today, I don’t have neither strength nor the right mood for it

And I don’t know when :(
