Bibliotheca Humanistica & Reformatorica volume LXIII. In this book Kleinschmidt is tracing the political implications of the transformation of the European world picture in the age of Emperor Maximilian I. A relevant work for Renaissance political and cultural history, as this work describes Maximilian's always much underestimated part in the changes of the world picture. Not only was he continuously and persistently involved in activities through which changes of the world picture were provoked, he also issued and authorized the most comprehensive sources relevant to the impact that these changes had on politics and international relations.
