The series “Atti delle Settimane di Studi e altri Convegni” gathers the contributions presented at the annual conferences organized by the Istituto “F. Datini “, later Fondazione.
The first volume, published in 1974, features the proceedings of the First Study Week, held in 1969.
The first 13 volumes were published years after the corresponding “Settimane” and were not printed in chronological order. Starting with n. 19 (1988) it became customary to publish the “Atti” the year following that of the conference.
By simply glancing through the list of titles featured in the series one can easily acknowledge the wide variety of themes covered during the Settimane. According to the vocation of the Istituto these topics focus on the pre-industrial period, while being at the same time still thoroughly current.
