Welcome on the remainders of a website formerly known as 'Renaissance'. Below an overview of my (i.e. Dick Wursten) scholarly activity. I am an independent scholar (= no university affiliation) and interested in many things, but above all (early sixteenth-century) France. Since November 2010 Clément Marot (French poet, and main contributor to this website) has his own place on the internet: www.clementmarot.com.
