Overview

This little volume contains the first written account of the history of the CRRS from its earliest beginnings to 2004. Based on archival records as well as on interviews with the principal protagonists, it explains why the Centre was founded and describes how it developed out of modest local beginnings to become the internationally recognized research centre that it is today. In so doing, it brings to light many aspects of the Centre’s history that have hitherto not been widely known.

James M. Estes is a Reformation scholar and Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Toronto. He arrived at Victoria College in 1962 and has been intimately involved in the history of the CRRS ever since its foundation in 1964. He was Director of the Centre from 1979 to 1985. At the time of his retirement in 1997, he was appointed Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Centre.

Praise

"This fascinating collection of articles and its suggestive juxtapositions extend the question of hospitality in early modern Europe, showing its implications across institutions, cultures, and social practices." - Sean Lawrence, University of British Columbia


"Tracking hospitality in civic, religious, literary, and international places and spaces, this stunning new collection of essays crosses Europe in search of hospitality’s accommodations, achievements, and catastrophes." - Julia Reinhard Lupton, University of California, Irvine


"In dialogue with contemporary theory and grounded on solid archival research, the essays in this volume make a compelling case for hospitality’s place in early modern thought and society from London to Rome and from Venice to the eastern frontiers of its commercial routes." - Matteo Soranzo, McGill University

A Timeless Classic That Never Gets Old
Format: Audiobook
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is such a sweet, beautifully illustrated book. The simple story, bright colors, and fun cut-out pages keep little ones completely engaged. It’s perfect for teaching counting, days of the week, and healthy eating in a way that feels playful and memorable. My kids ask for it over and over, and it’s one of those books that adults enjoy reading too. A true classic that every child’s bookshelf should have!

One of the best books for babies.

Great book for a one-year-old! Such a colorful, bright, book about a caterpillar that eats all sorts of things before turning into a butterfly. Terrific book for counting also.

Cute and educational
Format: Board book
Besides being such a cute story, the tactile features in this book hold my one year old's attention span: the different size pages and hole cut-outs. Also good for introducing days of the week, numbers, and fruits.
