The Toronto Renaissance and Reformation Colloquium, a volunteer organization that presents lectures and other events drawing on the resources of Early Modern scholars and students in Toronto, southern Ontario, and northern New York state. TRRC functions as a regional community of scholars who come together independent of any single academic institution, offering programs locally and facilitating the community’s interests through a national journal and its presence at international societies. Sponsorship of its programme is made possible through partnerships with the Centre for Reformation and Reformation Studies, lectures occasionally co-sponsored with individual departments and institutes, and vitally, the subscriptions of members who want to ensure the Colloquium’s programme and its future.
Francesco Guardiani is a Professor of Italian Studies at the University of Toronto and will be speaking on the topic, “Apostles of Modernity: Italian Jesuits as Agents of the Gutenberg Revolution” This talk is co-sponsored with the Emilio Goggio Chair in Italian Studies.
