The premodern world held possibilities and imagined futures: the physical and metaphysical systems that were actively built and contested then continue to inform the world in the present.

Read our statement on the value of Renaissance & Premodern Studies:

Phoenix logo beneath and image of engraving by Marco Dente after Francesco Salviatito the right, depicting an 'assembly of male and female scholars gathered around an open book, in the middle ground a man holds aloft an armillary sphere, another group of scholars in the background', c. 1515–27. Met Collection Accession Number: 17.50.16-105.
