Overview

This little volume contains the first written account of the history of the CRRS from its earliest beginnings to 2004. Based on archival records as well as on interviews with the principal protagonists, it explains why the Centre was founded and describes how it developed out of modest local beginnings to become the internationally recognized research centre that it is today. In so doing, it brings to light many aspects of the Centre’s history that have hitherto not been widely known.

James M. Estes is a Reformation scholar and Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Toronto. He arrived at Victoria College in 1962 and has been intimately involved in the history of the CRRS ever since its foundation in 1964. He was Director of the Centre from 1979 to 1985. At the time of his retirement in 1997, he was appointed Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Centre.

Praise

"This fascinating collection of articles and its suggestive juxtapositions extend the question of hospitality in early modern Europe, showing its implications across institutions, cultures, and social practices." - Sean Lawrence, University of British Columbia


"Tracking hospitality in civic, religious, literary, and international places and spaces, this stunning new collection of essays crosses Europe in search of hospitality’s accommodations, achievements, and catastrophes." - Julia Reinhard Lupton, University of California, Irvine


"In dialogue with contemporary theory and grounded on solid archival research, the essays in this volume make a compelling case for hospitality’s place in early modern thought and society from London to Rome and from Venice to the eastern frontiers of its commercial routes." - Matteo Soranzo, McGill University

Replacement for the older model - so far, so good
I had the previous version of this and the battery wore out after a couple of years. This one seems to be working very well so far. It's simple to use. Cut the wine bottle foil with the included cutter and just push the opener down on the top of the bottle. The screw automatically inserts in the cork, pulling it form the bottle, and then reverses itself to eject the cork. Unlike the old version, there's no button to press, it's all automatic. Flip the opener over and use the included airtight tops when you want to recork the bottle: it will vacuum out all the air in the bottle to prevent spoilage. Makes a great gift for a "wine enthusiast".

This is a really nice gift set
It’s a nice little wine gift set. Got it for myself after taking more interest in wine and wanted to get the kinda experience you get at a winery but at my own home Would suggest for any beginner friendly gift set and it doesn’t take up a lot of space either

Effortless and Elegant Wine Opener!
Color: 7-in-1 Black, Size: Rechargeable Set
I absolutely love my CIRCLE JOY Rechargeable Wine Opener! From the moment I opened the box, I could tell it was well-made and stylish. The sleek design looks great on my kitchen counter, and it feels sturdy in my hand. The performance is amazing — it removes corks quickly and smoothly with just the press of a button. No more struggling with manual corkscrews or broken corks! The built-in rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and the charging base keeps everything neat and organized. It also comes with handy accessories like the foil cutter, which works perfectly every time. I’ve used it for several dinner parties, and my guests are always impressed by how effortless it is to open a bottle. If you enjoy wine and want to make your experience easier and more elegant, this electric wine opener is a must-have. It’s functional, beautiful, and makes a perfect gift for any wine lover! 🍷
