Description
Summary:Situated at the crossroads of important trade routes, the bustling seaports of the Low Countries not only traded cargoes of grain and timber, silk and spices, woollen cloth and splendidly executed altarpieces, but also manuscripts and books, news, information, ideas and gossip.

This volume is devoted to this aspect of the 'intertraffic of the mind.'.
