«Worldly Goods: A New History of the Renaissance» is Lisa Jardine's historical essay, published by Nan A. Talese in hardcover (496 pages, in English).
Jardine reinterprets the Renaissance as a phenomenon tied to the creation of wealth: trade drove thought while European elites competed for artworks and control of trade routes. The expansion of printing spread new knowledge across Europe; the journey runs from Western Christendom to the Ottoman Empire.
This is the first edition, published in 1996; the volume includes a bibliography (pp. 437-452) and an index.
For readers of history, art history, and economic history, with an interest in the material culture of the Renaissance.
