Conclusions.  -- 13. Conclusion.  aThis book examines for the first time how ancient Egypt is reflected in early modern Venetian sources. As a center of the printing industry, Venice was an important hub for the accumulation and dissemination of direct information on the Near East and the Levant. Therefore, ancient Egypt played a significant role in the cultural memory of Venice due to the lagoon city’s religious and mercantile orientation towards the East. The book explores how the acquisition, selection, and interpretation of Egyptian objects took shape in Venice, and which actors were involved in the circulation of knowledge about ancient Egypt. Venice can be used as a lens through which to understand the reception of ancient Egypt in the early modern period. Meaningful and partly unpublished sources from primarily Italian archives highlight the visual imagination of ancient Egypt and its lexicographical codification. The author draws upon these sources to examine the Venetian image of ancient Egypt in the early modern period and the epistemic change that accompanied it. Sabine Herrmann is an independent scholar based in Venice, Italy. Previously, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for the History of Medicine of the Robert Bosch Stiftung (IGM), the Georg-August University of Göttingen, and the University of Tübingen, all in Germany. 0aEuropexHistoryx1492-.968968 0aMiddle EastxHistory. 0aAfrica, NorthxHistory.978242 0aHistory, Ancient.968096 0aCivilizationxHistory.966788 0aArtxHistory.96895514aHistory of Early Modern Europe.96896924aHistory of the Middle East.24aHistory of North Africa.97824324aClassical Studies.96809724aCultural History.96679024aArt History.9689572 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303157714708iPrinted edition:z978303157716108iPrinted edition:z978303157717840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-57715-4  aZDB-2-HTY  aZDB-2-SXH  c60513d60513
