Join us for Renaissance Skin's first virtual reading group!

We are excited to be welcoming Katherine Dauge-Roth of Bowdain College to discuss her new book 'Signing the Body: Marks on Skin in Early Modern France'.

Signing the Body  is the first scholarly monograph to address the rich history of the marked body in the early modern period. Drawing together a wide range of sources, it investigates tattooing, marking and other signs on skin in areas as diverse as demonology, jurisprudence, mysticism, medicine, pilgrimage, commerce, travel, and colonial conquest. In our virtual reading group, we will be focusing in particular on pilgrim tattoos.

Registration for this event is now closed. For more information about this online event, please see Eventbrite.
