History.Italian Perspectives is the only Legenda series to have begun elsewhere.
It was founded by Zyg Baranski and Laura Lepschy in 1998, and volumes 1 to 11
were published by Maney Publishing under the imprint of the Northern Universities
Press. In 2005 Legenda took the series over, acquiring rights to these earlier titles
and issuing new ones from IP 12 onwards. A new General Editor, Simon Gilson, succeeded
the founders in 2011.
