I’d recommend Anna Nilsson Hammar’s Serving Aristocracy: Negotiation, Learning and Mobility in an Early Modern Knowledge Community (2025).
Essential reading for historians of European political thought - Istvan Hont, Political Economy from Pufendorf to Marx (2026)

I think you’ll agree that it’s both sharp and a lot of fun.
Might be a long shot, but could potentially be Niccolò del Benino, discussed in Andrea Miroglio "Niccolò del Benino. L'avventura di un mercante-imprenditore fiorentino in America" and, more briefly, here: historia-hispanica.rah.es/biografias/5...
This looks great--can't wait to read it!
Out now! Open access in current issue of Renaissance Quarterly thanks to @ucdlibrary.bsky.social my thanks to everyone who helped me with this - but a special mention of the late Bríd McGrath for her wisdom, generosity and dedication to all the things that matter.
You still have over a week to get your abstracts in!
oh! The latest issue of Archiv für Reformationsgeschichte is a tribute to Natalie Zemon Davis 🥰 and what a wonderful-looking tribute it is: contributions from @vreinburg.bsky.social @anakroniks.bsky.social, Penny Roberts, Hilary Bernstein, @paulecohen.bsky.social, & many more! #NZD4Eva #EarlyModern
