Hans-Joachim Ziegeler

Jan-Dirk Müller

The essays in this volume explore the full scope of Maximilian’s Ruhmeswerk, which adaptively incorporated different literary and aesthetic genres. They examine the Emperor’s quest to become an “uomo universale”, or Renaissance man, in the context of the idea of “self-fashioning” at the focus of recent Renaissance research. In addition, the studies consider the impact of changing media conditions as a result of the invention of the printed book.
