In the first of the papers, the topic of the paper is the changing of the representation of St. Sebastian regarding his age in late medieval and renaissance period. In the second, the reminiscences of a humanist writer (Faust Vrancic) on the period of his childhood and adolescence are examined and contrasted with other sources on the aging process. In the third paper, the periods of childhood, youth and education of wealthy commoners on the basis of normative literature and of other documents (notarial deeds) are examined. |
