Summary
"What was the end of fortuna? The contributions aim at investigating the question whether there does exist a historical link between the last and manifold blossoming of a discourse on "Fortuna" between the late 16th and the early 17th century, the final demise of such a discourse roughly after mid-17th century, and the rise of modernity" --
