The courts of Renaissance Italy were home to an array of animals. This talk will consider both practical and affective care for these courtly creatures.
Hosted by Dr Sarah Cockram – a historian of the late medieval and early modern periods – learn more about the logistics of tending to high status creatures. Who cared for the animals at court? What did they do for these animals, and why? And what did this mean for human and animal lives? Discover this, and much more, at this evening event at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
Students and under 18s with ID cards and Fellows or Members of the College will be admitted free of charge. Please email library@rcpe.ac.uk if you would like to be added to this attendee list. All other tickets are priced at £3.00 per person and should be pre-booked on Caring for Animals at the Italian Renaissance Court.
