PAST EVENT

## 16th-Century Northern European Print Culture Master Class

### Platin-Moretus Museum, Antwerp / Bibliothèque Royale, Brussels

May 9-13, 2022

This intensive, five-day Master Class focuses on the study of the Catholic Reformation through research collections linking early modern Spain and the Spanish Empire with book and print production in the Spanish Netherlands during the 16th and early 17th centuries. This hands-on investigation responds to a critical mass of current research among JHU faculty and graduate students across four humanities departments (History, History of Art, History of Science & Technology, Modern Languages & Literatures). The program will encompass a cross- disciplinary cohort of JHU faculty and PhD students, and engage with scholars and curators in a variety of research collections through a concentrated exploration of the considerable richness of rare book and print collections in Antwerp and Brussels.
