Consider this manuscript in light of the article I posted 2 days ago about historical European mixed race families<\/a>. A lot of similar articles go right from Roman Britain to Renaissance Italy, but documents like this that often bridge the historical \u201cgap\u201d because go unremarked upon because they\u2019re often not considered analgous to written records or artistic depictions. What they do, rather, is show that in the imagination of artists during this time, racial diversity was part of their social consciousness and how they envisioned concepts like \u201ca family\u201d. My thanks to Dr Caitlin R Green <\/a>on bringing this manuscript to my attention.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
