Indexing the Early Modern Printed Image: A Digital Catalogue on the Illustrated Book in Lyon (1480-1600)

Barbara Tramelli's "Indexing the Early Modern Printed Image" explores Lyon's pivotal role in Renaissance printing (1480–1600).

This work highlights innovative Digital Humanities methodologies, combining digital iconography and art history to analyze, search, and share early modern printed images. A collaboration with Oxford and Venice institutes further enriches the study. Open access and peer-reviewed.
