Links to Taylorian posts on Italian Literature & Language

The Taylor Institution Library blog is curated by the staff of the Taylor Institution Library.

The aim of the blog is to highlight items of interest in the library collections and to contribute to bibliographical scholarship in modern languages. Articles will focus on important new acquisitions, Taylorian Special Collections, less well-known materials, unusual or alternative formats, and projects and research using Taylorian collections. From time to time we hope to include relevant pieces by guest writers.

Below are links to Italian-related posts in the the Taylorian's blog:
