The first, published in 2003, contains essays on European courts north of the Alps and the Pyrenees; it also has introductory essays to the entire project by Martin Gosman and Olaf Mörke. This second contribution to court culture discussesselectedcourtsofEnglandandofsouthernEurope. The discussions and analyses presented in the ensuing chapters are variously surveys of the self-image of rulers (Von Martels on Pope Pius II and Van Veen on Florentine patricians), of culture and the arts at princely courts(Rinaldionthefifteenth-centurycourtsofthePoValley,Shawonthe patronage of Pope Julius II, and Stevenson on the English court culture of Elizabeth I), the relation between culture, politics and power (Canfora on Naples between 1450 and 1650, Hughes on the heady mixture of politics andtheoccultunderEdwardIV,BoultononthefirsttwoTudorsovereigns, andMillánonEmperorCharlesV),ofcourtfestivals,ceremoniesandspec- tacles (Honemann on the marriage of Matthias Corvinus and Beatrice of Aragón,andWalthausonPhilipIVofSpainandhisQueen-Consort),and of theconstructionof‘official’historyatcourt(KaganonthecourtofPhilipII of Spain). As in the earlier volume, the articles are essentially multi- disciplinary in focus, and in order to enhance their specific considerations they all include material from other areas and disciplines than strictly their own. The editors wish to thank the contributors to this and the earlier book for their forbearance and their willingness to quickly answer our queries, and for their painstaking correction of the proofs. It is hoped that this volume meetstheirexpectationsandthose,too,ofitsreaders.Thanksgoas well to Gorus van Oordt who patiently did much of the word-processing.
