The article investigates the significance of five, hitherto unknown, books by Pier Paolo Vergerio but inscribed by Laelius Socinus. They further attest the ties between the two men and their cooperation in printing and distributing Italian-speaking Protestant literature (1549-1552). If seen from a broader prospective, however, the volumes prove themselves precious in order to pin-point three features of 16th-century Italian religious emigration, generally overlooked by scholarly literature and often hard to trace in sources: the anti-Italian prejudice shared by several European Protestants; the existence among the Italians of sentiments of national solidarity stronger than theological boundaries; the specific condition of Italian women (often isolated due to language ignorance). Furthermore, in the first part of the article, the author illustrates why he thinks that these and similar case studies are the main way to renew this field of study, as they are meant to promote a social history of the Italian Reformation while going beyond the traditional, theologically oriented approach.
Keywords: Italian Reformation, Protestant Women, National Solidarity, Anti-Italian Prejudice, Manuscript Inscriptions, Laelius Socinus.
