Acknowledgements P J F N The essays in this collection were originally presented in two study days, entitled ‘Ritual in Siena: Comparative Disciplinary Approaches’ held respec- tively at the University of Warwick and the Università degli Studi di Siena on 16 May and 12 June 2003. Firstly, we would like to thank all those who contributed stimulating papers and participated in making both days a success. We are particularly grateful to Julian Gardner, Director of AHRB Centre for the Study of Renaissance Elites and Court Cultures, for supporting the con- ference in Warwick. Our special thanks go to Gioachino Chiarini, Dean of the Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia of the Università degli Studi di Siena, who as Director of the Centro Warburg Italia provided a venue for the Siena day, which included an on-site seminar in the city’s churches and streets. The latter involved both speakers and other participants and we would like to thank in particular Matthias Quast, Gabriele Fattorini, Ludwin Paardekooper, Monika Butzek and Christa Gardner von Teuffel for their contributions. Friends and colleagues have provided encouragement, support and helpful criticism, and we should like to mention particularly: David Chambers, Diana Norman, Georgia Clarke, Jonathan Davies, Kate Lowe and Guido Rebecchini. All scholars working on Sienese history owe a great debt to the directors and staff of the Archivio di Stato di Siena and the Biblioteca Comunale, and we should like to thank them collectively here. Financial support for the conference was provided by the AHRB, the Centro Warburg Italia and the Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena. Finally of course, John Law has been an enthusiastic supporter of this project, and we thank him for welcoming this collection as a special issue of Renaissance Studies.
