Abstract
This essay focuses on the multi-variant careers of five individuals, most from practical and technical backgrounds, all of whom worked in a variety of occupations in the city of Rome in the late sixteenth century. Its goal is to investigate the working lives of these men and their friendships and the communicative networks within which they participated. This paper explores their practices as they were involved in trading zones—arenas of substantive communication between individuals from skilled (apprenticeship trained) and learned (university trained) backgrounds. It suggests that such trading zones between the skilled and the learned were also characterized by a certain fluidity of occupation and self-identification and that this fluidity contributed to the elision of the boundaries between the two groups. It thereby contributes to the long-standing and on-going discussion concerning the relationships of artisanal and learned cultures in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the influence of those relationships on the development of new empirical methodologies.
