Title : Isotta Nogarola umanista, monaca domestica e pellegrina al Giubileo (1450) [Isotta Nogarola, a Veronese humanist, visited Rome during the Jubilee Year 1450 and delivered a discourse before Pope Nicholas V. At home, Isotta combined a nun-like religious life with the study of letters. In her Jubilee pilgrimage and her writings, Isotta revealed a conservative approach to the church and especially to the papacy. This is rooted in her elite upbringing in Verona.].

Title : Women Humanists: Education for What? [The author looks at the case of Isotta Nogarola, and to a lesser degree those of Cassandra Fedele and Alessandra Scala. Their mentors at first praise them for their learning and declare that they are fellow humanists. However, the mentors soon rebuff further contact or turn the epistolary exchange into a series of love letters. Jardine argues that the purpose of humanism was to prepare men for professions. Women could not be allowed in that public sphere nor could they even be imagined with the kinds of power available to those professions. Title note supplied by Feminae.].

Title : Orazione e pittura tra "propaganda" e devozione al tempo di Sisto IV: il caso della Madonna della Misericordia di Ganna [once Sixtus IV issued a decree favoring the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, texts and images favoring that doctrine proliferated; some texts, genuine or spurious, promised indulgences to the devout; and they featured excerpts from Leonardo Nogarolo's office for the feast of Mary Immaculate; the image of the Madonna della Misericordia at Varese is such an image; the church also features the monogram of the Name of Jesus popularized by the Franciscan Observants; the entire complex benefited from patronage by the Sforza family].
