Volume 50 contains five articles ranging from medieval folklore (collection of maeren in a sample codex) and 13th century anti-heretical literature (St. Peter of Verona) to Humanist discourse on leisure (Petrarch and Piccolomini) and polemical invectives (Ulrich von Hutten). One paper is on early humanist Ferrara (law and society 1350-1450). In addition, there are six book reviews which cover various epochs, genres, and discourses.
