Acknowledgements
The present volume would not have seen the light without the financial and logistical support of the Carlsberg Foundation (Denmark, Internationalisation Grant CF21-0367), dr. Stefano Cattelan, the Research Foundation Flanders (fwo; Junior Fundamental Research Project G016122N), and the Research Group Contextual Research in Law at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
We are equally indebted to dr. Ed Jones Corredera, dr. Cathleen Sarti and dr. Emanuele Salerno, who were so kind as to present work-in-progress at the symposium organised on 22 April 2023 in Paris, hosted by the Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris, which generously welcomed our scientific event. The anonymous peer reviewers provided us with extra food for thought and suggestions, which we gratefully incorporated into this book.
Last but not least, we would like to thank the heritage institutions that granted permission for the reproduction of the illustrations in this volume, and, of course, the professional publishing sherpas at Brill (Alessandra Giliberto, Petra Stiglmayer and Melissa Allieri), to whom we are obliged for their careful guidance through the process.
