<flushboth>Europa Triumphans</italic> is a multi-disciplinary research project concerned
with the study of festival entertainments in Renaissance and Early
Modern Europe. These entertainments were presented to mark
occasions such as royal and ducal entries to capital cities, dynastic
marriages, the birth and christening of heirs, religious feasts, and royal
and ducal funerals. They were political occasions of some significance,
as well as occasions for the display of artistic and performance skills in
the visual arts, music, dance, writing and scenography. </flushboth>
<flushboth>The first publication of the project will be a two-volume, one-thousand-
page collection of representative festival entertainments. Publication is
expected in late 2001 or early 2002.</flushboth>
<flushboth>Members of the <italic>Europa Triumphans</italic> project, directed by Professor
Ronnie Mulryne (University of Warwick) and Professor Helen Watanabe-
O’Kelly (University of Oxford), are at present drawn from six continental
European countries (Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland,
Sweden), from the UK, and from the United States. The project is
managed by a Steering Group of UK-based scholars who meet four or
five times per year to co-ordinate the publishing activities of the project,
to plan its development, to seek financial support and to serve as a
channel of communication with European and North American scholars. </flushboth>
To disseminate information about the project and to encourage
participation from other scholars with similar interests, the Steering
Group of <italic>Europa Triumphans</italic> is pleased to announce the launch of
<italic>Renaissance Journal: The Journal of the </italic>Europa Triumphans <italic>Research
Project</italic>, the first edition of which was published in January. For more
information about the project and a complimentary copy of the first issue
of the Journal, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Goldring, Centre for the Study
of the Renaissance, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, England,
