Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction. Orthographies in Early Modern Europe: A comparative view -- Variation and standardization in the history of Spanish spelling -- Italian orthography in Early Modern times -- French orthography in the 16th century -- Variable focusing in English spelling between 1400 and 1600 -- The emergence of suprasegmental spellings in German -- Variable norms in 16th-century Swedish orthography -- The standardization of Polish orthography in the 16th century -- Religion and diacritics: The case of Czech orthography -- On the creation of Croatian: The development of Croatian Latin orthography in the 16th century -- 16th-century Hungarian orthography -- Standardization of Finnish orthography: From reformists to national awakeners -- Index Rerum -- Index Nominum
Summary: This volume provides, for the first time, a pan-European view of the development of written languages at a key time in their history: that of the 16th century. The major cultural and intellectual upheavals that affected Europe at the time - Humanism, the Reformation and the emergence of modern nation-states - were not isolated phenomena, and the evolution of the orthographical systems of European languages shows a large number of convergences, due to the mobility of scholars, ideas and technological innovations throughout the period.
