@TarrantNeil @UChicagoPress Great!

[hiro hirai ✨ @animamundi001]

@FabrizioBaldas6 Yep, it came, it's massive. By contrast, Encyclopedia of Early Modern Philosophy, published before this, is yet to come. A bit strange...

[hiro hirai ✨ @animamundi001]

New publication: Encyclopedia of Renaissance Philosophy (Springer, 2022), 4 volumes over 3600 pages. Happy to have acted as a section editor for medicine.
