{"product_id":"looking-trustworthy-andrea-rizzi-9781009571784","title":"Looking Trustworthy: Portraits and Textual Poses of Humanist Translators in the Renaissance","description":"In this Element I investigate how Renaissance humanist translators used the printed page to construct a trustworthy persona and persuade readers of their translations' value. These portraits did more than decorate books - they shaped the public identity of translators, lent credibility to their work, and positioned them within broader networks of cultural authority. As the early modern book trade expanded, portraits became key instruments in establishing recognisability - what we might now call a 'brand' - that reassured readers and patrons alike. By revealing how trustworthiness was deliberately performed and circulated in print, this Element reframes the role of translators in Renaissance culture and offers new insights into the social and symbolic economies of early modern trust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Rizzi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009571788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009571784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Andrea Rizzi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437866463487,"sku":"9781009571784","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ee40dcf-8d62-473d-bd7c-4287fda68e87.jpg?v=1777167304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/looking-trustworthy-andrea-rizzi-9781009571784","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
