Acknowledgments

The essays gathered in Domestic Devotions in the Early Modern World originated as papers delivered at the international interdisciplinary conference sponsored by the ERC Synergy Grant Domestic Devotions: The Place of Piety in the Italian Renaissance Home, 1400-1600. For the generous support and help with the organization of this conference, which convened in July 2015, we owe a debt of thanks to the University of Cambridge and to St Catharine's College in particular, which kindly allowed us to use its excellent facilities. For her invaluable administrative assistance, we are very grateful to Rachel Burgess, administrator of the project Domestic Devotions, who ably facilitated many practical aspects of this conference.

Deborah Howard of the Department of Architecture and History of Art, Dr Abigail Brundin of the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages, Prof. Mary Laven of the Faculty of History, also Principal Investigators between 2013 and 2017 of the ERC project, and our colleague on the team, Maya Corry of the Department of Architecture and History of Art, ensured the success of the conference through their enthusiastic participation. We wish to thank them all for this. We wish to thank Helena Phillips-Robins and Beatrice Priest for helping us with the editing and the proofreading of the texts. Thanks go also to Marion Eggert for checking Korean and Chinese quotations. Finally, the Editors wish to thank the Editorial Board of the Intersections series for their encouragement, support, and advice: Karl Enenkel, Cornel Zwierlein, Wietse de Boer. Thank you to Arjan van Dijk for helping us throughout the production process and to Gera van Bedaf for her careful editing: without their help and expertise this volume would have not seen the light of day.
