Taking up the invitation extended by attempts over the past three decades to construct a functioning definition of the genre, Jonathan Bradbury traces the development of the vernacular miscellany in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain. The first full-length study of this commercially successful and intellectually significant genre, this book underlines the service performed by the miscellanists as disseminators of knowledge to a popular readership, and explores the evolutions the tradition undergoes.
